Sometimes regarded as not only among Gosha Hideo’s finest films but among the finest yakuza films ever made, Violent Streets is a brutal, gripping, kinetic action yarn in which legendary gangster-turned-actor Noboru Ando plays Egawa, a retired yakuza underboss, now nightclub owner, who gets pulled back into the life when his old comrades demand control of his club. Meanwhile, a gang war quietly roiling behind the scenes erupts into open violence in response to a high-profile kidnapping, lending unimaginably high stakes to Egawa’s reemergence onto the yakuza scene. The result is a kinetic and stylish explosion of deception, mayhem, and death that leaves no one safe—and a masterpiece of 1970’s yakuza cinema, a pulpy, pungent thriller.

Violent Streets is available on Blu-ray and Digital on May 23.
