Violent Streets

Having done his time in jail, ex-yakuza Egawa (Noboru Andô) was trying to find his way as a legit bar owner and distance himself from an ever more corporate mob life. Unfortunately, his former foot soldiers had also emerged from stir--and were very ready to use his establishment as beachhead in a turf war. Engrossing crime saga from director Hideo Gosha also stars Akira Kobayashi, Minami Nakatsugawa, Tetsuro Tanba, Bunta Sugawara. 96 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English.
