Synopsis by Matthew Tobey
The title of this action thriller from director Ten Shimoyama refers to a designer drug that has overtaken the streets of Tokyo in the not-too-distant future. In the underground world of fight clubs, the drug is used for its combined effects of super-strength and unbridled rage. When a local cop and a soldier from the United States team up to put an end to Blood Heat's reign, they soon find themselves plunged into a violent world they may never escape.
