Dead or Alive
“A daring exercise in ultra-violent extremes.”
ActionThrillerCrime
Ryūichi and his small gang of Triad vie for control of the Japanese underworld in a crime-ridden Shinjuku quarter while Detective Jojima tries to bring it down.
VIBE
A relentless dive into the neon-drenched, rain-slicked streets of Tokyo's underbelly. This film is a brutal ballet of betrayal and survival, where every shadow hides a threat and every deal can be your last. Expect visceral action and a suffocating atmosphere.
