Bad City is Another Winning Film From Well Go USA. This gritty Japanese crime and action drama is really really good. Censure Sonumura has really done a good job of Directing the movie and the action in this one. This story plays out more like a Korean crime drama than a Japanese one. Crooked Cops, dynamic personalities, and over the top personalities. The lines between good and bad are very blurred. The movie centers on a Charles Bronson like Police Chief, wrongly jailed to keep him from investigating the Yakuza's connection with the Korean mob. Now he is released through. Special task force to take down that same mob. He has a team of younger Detectives who are really good, including Hydra's Mansori Mamaoto. Some familiar faces from Japanese films like Baby Assassins are here too. I like everything about this- the action, the drama, the acting, and the cinematography. Watch it in Japanese with English Subtitles. Might be best film of the year!

The type of hand to hand combat and the brawl SONUMURA adapted is an investment that is close to reality even hollywood should adapt in future...the stunts are well staged and electrifying that showcases the Greed among the mobsters and their hunger towards power... The plot is better which a typical action flick should have and the charismatic cast with their realistic performance and their dedication towards action part adds a midas touch to the flick with some blood pumping fast combat sequences and promising brawls that I never witnessed is a delight to watch... Morever simple budget and a Crispy writing and some memorable low light wide angel shots makes it a worthy addition of japanese action flick.
