"Narumi, you are like a Gorilla"
With a terribly weak setup, a simplistic plot and developments, and awfully low stakes.. I would be hard pressed into recommending anyone watching this.
And in any case, it seems this is a sequel to a set of movies called "Game Trilogy".. with "The Most Dangerous Game" (1978) being the first entry (and I hear a lot more sleazy).
I was initially interested, as a random person on the internet stated that Spike Spiegel (Cowboy Bebop) was somewhat inspired by Yusaku Matsuda in this role. I could somewhat see it.. if I squint really hard. But there's no charm to this character (at least in this entry, one of the other 2 might actually be good), no memorable lines, no rewatchable action scenes, or anything. All you get is a plot of a guy hired to kill either Yakuza boss from 2 warring gangs.. and it is as lacking in excitement as that sentence I just wrote. I probably won't be tracking any more of these, sadly.
