"The Tokyo underworld is being torn apart by a turf war between the
yakuza gangs and the invading Chinese triads. Ambitious yakuza
member Ryuichi (Riki Takeuchi) isn't above playing both sides off
against each other in his bid for power, while police detective
Jojima (Sho Aikawa), himself none too scrupulous in his methods, is
out to destroy the gangs.

called “soulless,” you will never look at the frozen food section
or knife throwing clowns the same way again."
