Synopsis:
Takeshi Kitano’s directing debut, in which he plays an old-school cop. The only police method that Azuma respects is pure violence. Investigating the death of a drug dealer with his younger colleague Kikuchi, he finds out that a policeman is involved. Soon, he is found dead and Azuma sets off in search of the murderer. The investigation brings him to Kiyohiro, a fierce criminal who likes violence as much as Azuma himself.
