you don't think you can go wrong, which may be true. That all depends on your needs in a good Japanese film. First of all, the movie is not that violent, but to me, and maybe many of you, it was still pretty good. Te ending brough up a few complaints, becasue not much gets resolved, seriously, but it does set up for the sequel which is also good. If you like Riki or are a fan of the genre, try it out, and don't build it up too much.

Tokyo Mafia: Yakuza Wars Summary Lone-wolf Gangster And Yakuza Outcast Riki Takeuchi Decides To Form His Own Mob: The Tokyo Mafia, A Renegade Outfit With A Collective Structure That Thrives On The Outskirts Of The Underworld. Takeuchi Is A Curious Kind Of Thug With A Peaceful Approach To Solving Problems. Removing The Engine Of A Rival's Prize Automobile, For Example, Is A Unique Way To Send A Message. In This Direction, Of Course, Lays Madness As The City Is Divided Into Yet One More Patch Of Territory And "why Can't We All Just Get Along" Becomes "this Means War!" This Slick But Impersonal Gangster Thriller Kicks Off With A Completely Gonzo Yakuza Power Struggle In A High-rise Office That Reaches Its Bloody Climax When The Offending Soldier Bites Off His Own Finger, A Rather Savage Twist On The Traditional Show Of Respect, But The Movie Quickly Settles Into Just Another Production Ground Out To Meet A Quota. It's Full Of The Requisite Shootouts And Gang Fights, But The Generic Revenge Plot Lacks Dramatic Punch And Memorable (or For That Matter Distinguishable) Characters. It Does, However, Feature The Swaggering Confidence And Smoldering Star Power Of Japanese Action Heartthrob Takeuchi, Who Commands The Screen Whenever He Appears. --sean Axmaker

Rogue mobster Ginya Yabuki founds the Tokyo Mafia to engage his enemies, The Yakuza, in an all-out turf war! Blood and bullets explode over Tokyo in the ultimate battle for criminal supremacy.
