We haven’t had an Asian flick here for some time now so I decided to post this new release of Japanese action movie Ryu Ga Gotoku (English title is “Like a Dragon”). The few reviews I read through talk about a good mix of funny scenes and violence, tragedy and action. The movie deals with Yakuza, bribed cops and other criminals. You can also expect a great deal of twists and turnarounds in the story. This release contains Japanese audio with English subtitles on 2 CDs.
Former Yakuza underling Kiryu Kazuma (Kitamura Kazuki), who has recently been released from prison after a lengthy incarceration, and is trying to piece his life together and distance himself from his Yakuza past. Along the way he encounters Haruka (”Natsuo”), a distressed young girl who is trying to find her lost mother (a former club hostess). Unfortunately Kiryu’s problems slowly escalate as he is pursued by a former associate, the baseball bat-wielding psycho Majima Goro (Kishitani Goro) who has a grudge to settle with Kiryu.
