Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
In this gangster film, the Japanese mafia (yakuza) are shown to be "dark suits," or corporation men, not substantially different from their legitimate cousins in the business world. Most of their time is spent going from one interminable business meeting to another, but occasionally they are forced to deal with a situation by committing extremely public murders. The cast list includes the world-renowned actor Toshiro Mifune, and locally famous Kyoko Kishida.
