Gorô Kishitani plays Rikuo Ishimatsu a mid level Yakuza heavy in Takashi Miike's (sort of) remake of the classic 1970's movie.
It's a remake of an older movie but apart from a few similar scenes and some other call backs it's mostly it's own original thing.
It's a Miike movie through and through with everything you would expect - Extreme violence with buckets of blood, offbeat characters, dark humour and a cool mean streak throughout.
This is a pretty insane movie which features one of the most repugnant main characters in any movie ever.
Ishimatsu is a scumbag and the movie doesn't try to make you relate to him or make him sympathetic, you are just there to witness his horrific actions.
If you like Miike's other movies then this is a no brainer for fans and it's not exactly a laugh riot but it's intense as hell, stylish and disturbing.
If that's you're thing then check it out.
