IMDB

The story of some young Yakuzas. Fuyu becomes infatuated with a schoolgirl, Hanako. Hanako gets arrested when there's a raid on a underground casino. She's bailed out by a young gangster, who sells her for gambling money. Fuyu spends the rest of the movie trying to find her, while there is tension among a couple of Yakuza families.
Interesting movie, that I have a hard time describing because there's a lot of subtitled dialogue. The directing is fantastic and the story was solid with a strong ending. Worth streaming on Netflix.

7/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
