IMDb plot summary: A pungent, extremely entertaining tale of hedonistic, amoral blackmailer Matsukata.
Directed by Kinji Fukasaku. Starring Hiroki Matsukata, Tomomi Satô, Hideo Murota, and Akira Jo.
This movie went in a very different direction than I thought it would from the start. The first piece of the movie feels almost like a silly, fun heist movie about this group of young blackmailers, but then as things around them get more serious, so does the story, and we end with basically a full noir. I definitely preferred the first part of the movie, since it was something I hadn't seen before, and was a little bored by the more predictable way the story played out at the end.
