Japanese director Kinji Fukasaku has reached cult status with his realistic depictions of the Yakuza lifestyle, and this 1975 film is no exception as it tracks the often-violent deeds of unprincipled gangster Rikio Ishikawa (Tetsuya Watari). Ishikawa's daily activities consistently involve a multitude of illegal activities, including drug abuse and murder, propelling him further into the deep, dark hole he's made of his life.
