    Love and Action in Osaka

    ★★★★

    Tôru Nakamura plays Tôru, the banker son of a yakuza boss. Tôru is trying to live a legitimate life and hopes to open a resort casino but his father's undworld rivals keep getting in his way.

    Tôru is a tough customer and despite misgivings he can't help but kick hell out of anyone that gets in his way.

    There's a great drop down drag out fight between Nakamura and Masahiro Takashima about halfway through.

    The direction has manga flourishes, stills and backlighting with dramatic poses. A minor movie with major moments throughout.

    Same old bog 'n' donkey show from McD relentlessly ugly.
