    Extraordinary yakuza bloodbath

    If theres a more cynical,nihilistic yakuza movie out there,I've not seen it!Video search of Miami offered an english subbed version of this masterpiece back in the day,but im not aware of a subbed DVD,or bluray!One for Arrow films,maybe?This bleak,but brilliantly made saga follows a group of returning WW2 soldiers who form a mob and begin to carve out their turf against the bombed out backdrop of postwar Japan.Highly recommended,but some very disturbing imagery,be warned!
