An American cop in Japan. Their country. Their laws. Their game. His rules.

DramaActionThriller

Two New York cops get involved in a gang war between members of the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia. They arrest one of their killers and are ordered to escort him back to Japan. However, in Japan he manages to escape, and as they try to track him down, they get deeper and deeper into the Japanese Mafia scene and they have to learn that they can only win by playing the game—the Japanese way.

VIBE

This is a visceral, neon-drenched descent into a clash of cultures, where gritty American bravado meets the ritualistic intensity of the Yakuza. It feels relentlessly propulsive, a stylish and tense journey through shadowy Osaka streets. Expect a visually striking, hard-boiled experience, steeped in themes of honor and corruption.
