Recensione di Jeremy_Urquhart

This came in a boxset of Japanese crime-thrillers that I plan to work through over the next week or so, and as this was the earliest release of the five, I decided to start here.

It's very simple and tells a story about a young man and a young woman who both have connections to various shady characters that they both wish to escape from. Its unapologetically direct and for its time, it probably had a little more impact than it does now.

But it was still far from a bad watch, and it can be appreciated and enjoyed as a well-acted and well-directed film that serves as a decent crime movie for the time it was made. It's also nice to see something unpretentious and straightforward every once in a while, because you often can't make a movie nowadays unless it's got a bit more going on to complicate it.
