This film, driven by a gritty atmosphere and intense action from Junichi Okada and Kentaro Sakaguchi, elevates Japanese action movies with its gripping, high-standard performances. The story moves quickly, showing the characters' struggles, though some viewers may wish for more depth. Still, the film's relentless pace is a big part of its appeal.

Junichi Okada, the star of this film, is gallant! The film is beautifully filmed as if representing the four seasons of Japan, and the clothes and the actors' appearance are understated and full of profound depictions.
