🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a straightforward vigilante narrative, relying entirely on Shin'ichi Chiba's formidable screen presence and the raw, gritty choreography of its fight sequences. It explores a clear-cut moral battle against a corrupt system.
What lingers after the credits is the sheer physicality of the action and a satisfying, uncomplicated pulp thrill. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Ryuichi Takamori

For a late-night dose of 70s Japanese pulp action and Chiba's iconic toughness.
