Viewing Notes

Part of the Titans is Toho Birthday Marathon over the final weekend of 2022 into 2023. This one was selected bc it features Kumi Mizuno in a nice supporting role. This shitty ass TMDb description doesn’t share the plot so allow me:

Grown up son arrives home to learn his father, the newly elected mayor, has been assassinated. So he journeys down a path to find the assassin and gets involved with two opposing yakuza gangs. This is a really good JP film noir but in color and definitely deserves a decent release.
