Viewing Notes

For some reason I thought I had seen this one from the Nikkatsu Noir collection but when I added to the Top Japanese Film list it appeared unlogged. Rectified that tonight. Great badguys versus badguys and another western in yakuza clothing. Fun build-up towards that finale that I could not have predicted. I wanna pitch Jo Shishido’s cheeks. Chitose Kobayashi is a delightful counterbalance to the machismo.
