A action-noir whodunit.
A more original story than usual for a ninkyô yakuza film.
Despite the potent writing team of Hoshikawa and director Matsuo, this is no more than just decent, not particularly memorable ninkyô yakuza programmer.
Ninkyô tale set in the late Meiji period.
One of the few later yakuza films helmed by director Matso, and esteemed and accomplished veteran of many yakuza eiga at Nikkatsu Studio all through the sixties.
A group of warriors decide to unite to help the oppressed masses. Disguised as ordinary people, they are dedicated to fighting evil till the end.
