Still sick.
Watch as bumbling bad-ass Otomo, played by Takeshi Kitano, gets outplayed in increasingly absurd ways and his yakuza family comes crumbling to the ground.
This movie is darkly funny in the way that it takes on a somewhat standard and almost heroic setup for a crime story. Otomo's closest thing to a real friend is the cop he boxed with in high school, but the two of them are constantly throwing barbs during interrogations and otherwise insulting or beating each other. Everyone else is an overly-faithful underling or a higher-up repeatedly trying to screw him over.
It's not just Otomo who's bumbling through this, virtually the entire show is a bunch of yakuza thinking they're clever for getting the drop on some other moron, before getting got themselves.
"You always were a lousy boxer."
