1989125 min6.6 / 10

A tense, kinetic action thriller about American cops navigating the violent underworld of Japanese organized crime, driven by pursuit and cultural collision rather than introspection.

Two New York cops get involved in a gang war between members of the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia. They arrest one of their killers and are ordered to escort him back to Japan. However, in Japan he manages to escape, and as they try to track him down, they get deeper and deeper into the Japanese Mafia scene and they have to learn that they can only win by playing the game—the Japanese way.
