A young foot soldier in the yakuza seeks revenge when his prostitute girlfriend dies after a session with a high-ranking Japanese politician with a taste for torture. He sets out on a 'kamikaze' mission to kill his bosses and the politician; along the way, he acquires the aid of a taxi driver who has recently returned to Japan after living in South America for several decades and is struggling to cope with poverty and the prejudices of native-born Japanese.

**Watched the Japanese Theatrical Cut (the longer one) ** It's kind of like Collateral but a lot more chill and the roles are reversed. There were some additions from the longer cut that I thought were unnecessary, but I still had a good time. Koji Yakusho is the goat
