A must see for Japanophiles
Not only is this a good 70's gangster/action flick, it is also one of the few movies about Japan ever produced in the States that does not make too many mistakes about Japanese culture.
Ken Takakura puts in a great performance which is no surprise since he first became famous in Japan for acting in yakuza (gangster) movies.
Anyone who has ever tried to understand or explain the concept of "giri" should see this movie!
