TK gives a solid performance, as usual, while Yamamoto is more-or-less convincing as the morally suspect Natsumi. The opening scene, especially, where the camera follows Kaneshiro's character Kenichi through the back-alleys of Kubuchiko, while the soundtrack wails ethereally is quite something. Seamy, seedy, with some of the most evocative steady-cam work I have seen in a while. Overall, it is a very good movie, and is well worth a watch. And Eric Tsang demonstrates why he is everyone's favourite gangland boss (epitomised in the Infernal Affairs trilogy) This is a fine movie, and whilst the multitude of unpredictable twists really do push the limits of the story. Meanwhile, Mirai Yamamoto, is simply brilliant in her role, keeping everyone guessing as to the motives of her character. Takeshi Kaneshiro, heartthrob to millions of teenage girls in Asia, is perfect in his role with his trademark stone cold yet innocent manner. Plot twists are everywhere in this film, and it's been designed to keep you guessing. It's a complicated plot (not least to describe) and it is even more than I've said already. Meanwhile, Fu-chun's girlfriend, Natsumi Sato (Yamamoto) turns up to sell something to Kenichi. Yuan wants to get even and attempts to do so by using Kenichi. Things are calm, however, his former partner-in-crime, Fu-Chun, is rumoured to have returned to Kabukicho, having fled years earlier after killing the number two to gangland boss, Yuan (Tsang).
His domain is in Kabukicho, a gangland controlled by various Shanghainese gangs intent on taking overall control. You can sell him anything except children's organs. Kenichi (Kaneshiro) is a half-Japanese, half-Chinese man of the underworld.
