Viewing Notes

So JapanFlix was running a few titles for free streaming this weekend and naturally I would take advantage of this deal. Is another adaptation of the manga and remake of the 1991 film Shizukanaru Don. It’s actually a decent story of a mild-mannered guy who happens to be the son of a crime boss. He flips a switch in his head to become a tough guy and take down other yakuza. I’d like to see the sequel now.
