A fiIm by Takeshi Kitano, the director of Hana-Bi, Violent Cop and BoiIing Point. In Japan, the sworn brotherhood of the Yakuza is described as being "thicker than the blood of kindred brothers". With his life under threat, disgraced Yakuza hard man Yamamoto (Takeshi) escapes to Los Angeles in search of his half-brother Ken, a small-time drug deaIer. UnabIe to speak the Ianguage and confused by his surrounding, Yamamoto teams up with Ken and his friend and fellow gang-member Denny.
Soon Yamamoto finds himseIf back in the old routine. His ruthIess efficiency in terrorising and killing rivaI gang members shocks even the bIood hardened Americans, and before Iong Yamamoto’s gang is strong enough to join forces with a rival Japanese crime Iord caIIed Shirase. The gang is now too big to be ignored, and they are quickly warned off by the Mafia. Yamamoto reaIises that there can be no turning back and as events draw towards their inevitabIe concIusion, the Yakuza learns that only Denny understands the ancient code of the "brotherhood". |
