Japanese police drags up a car containing the dead bodies of a police officer and a nightclub owner. Evidences suggest the powerful Sanno clan is trying to branch out inside the yakuza; at least according to corrupt police officer Kataoka, who believes that Kato, the young and immature leader of the Sanno clan, has no respect for old ways of sharing power and co-existing with the police. That’s when Katakoa summons Otomo, a renegade member of the yakuza, to help him, and a new battle begins to take shape. From director Takeshi Kitano (Zatôichi, Outrage). Competition, Venice, 2012.
