Sonny Chiba stars as Takuma Tsurugi (or Terry Tsurugi in the shitty dubbed version I watched) an assassin for hire. He is hired to save an imprisoned man about to be executed, who he puts into an oxygen coma. Through a series of events that leads him into trying to save a woman who recently inherited an oil company from the Yakuza.
Chiba is great in his role and the movie has a fair amount of gore, but for some reason I could barely stay awake during it. I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy the movie, I just feel like it didn't live up to the expectations I had. I would really like to see it with the Japanese language track and subtitles rather than the bad English dub.
7/10
