Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Rikiya Yasuoka, Ren Ōsugi and Junji Inagawa star in this early straight to video effort from Takashi Miike. Joe (Yasuoka), a lumbering tough guy with a heart of gold, is fresh out of prison, but it's not long before he lands himself in trouble again. The courier company he works for is attacked by a local yakuza gang. Joe takes matters into his own hands.
