Quite a gentle film about a lad who's been jilted and is sent on a mundane adventure to recover his spirits. The kind of film I like. Seems like it could happen to anyone.

Beat Takeshi in similar role to Violent Cop plays straightforward detective whose wife is ill. To pay medical bills he takes a loan from the yakuza and things start to go pear shaped for him and his colleagues.

Because I can't give it 6. Infinitely better than I remember it. And I remember it being amazing. And in HD too, on this viewing.

This is full of top notch politics and underhand dealing. The baddies are top notch, the goodies are top notch and the people around it are decent and every day. Funny and thought provoking.
