Review by searchanddestroy-1

This scheme is not new: vengeance, undercover cop, so this violent crime flick from the Rising sun country is only destined to hardcore fans of this kind of material. It is well paced, with an atmosphere and directing elements specific to the Asian film methods; western film industries have of course another way to present and develop a story. I have seen better in the Japanese crime category, easier to follow. A bit too long, but most of those Asian films are rarely shorter. Many talkative parts are useless for me, to appreciate this movie. But I don't regret to have seen it. It is rare, it won't be available on DVDs, I guess, only on Netflix, so if you crave for this Japanese, or even Korean, crime movie.
