The movie

In a city riddled with corruption, a secret team is put together to bring down a mobster running for mayor. Backstabbings and betrayals galore in this intense thriller.

Corruption and violence reign supreme in a city torn apart by a private conglomerate, the yakuza, and even the authorities. Former police inspector Torada is secretly released from prison and asked to clean up the mess with the help of a special task force. Legendary actor Ozawa Hitoshi leads his team through gripping power struggles, double crossings, and striking action scenes the likes of which only the best Japanese genre films can deliver.
