An all-star cast highlights this Jidai-Geki classic. Set in the samurai era, this is the tale of period Yakuza. One of the real classics in this genre. In this dramatic portrayal of the real-life gambling boss Jirocho, a good-hearted and honest boss sets out to take revenge for a fellow boss. At the same time, the other local bosses, in a bid to increase their own power, plot to dispose of Jirocho. Starring Kataoka Chiezo in one of his signature roles, this is an excellent portrayal of a figure who is not well known outside of Japan. Co-starring Nakamura Kinnosuke, this exciting tale of period yakuza brings history to life.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
