A complete happy surprise to discover this crime drama among the usual horror films we know and love on Shudder. If you enjoy police procedurals, yakuza films, or are just interested in an under-watched film filled with some solid twists and turns (as well as some great character work), I would highly recommend giving this a go. TL:DR -- Japanese "Training Day"
ultraviolence and blood
Great film
Fun.
Shudder’s non-horror movies are always excellent.
