The end of the road

Capping off an astonishing 11 films in 4 years of Otoko no monsho films, The Young Boss is a worthy, if tired, final telling of this unusual yakuza saga. Riffing on the first few films Hideki Takahashi is once again the son of deceased yakuza boss who has been trying to stay out of the life but takes to it anyway where his considerable skills are put to the test by rival gangs.

No big surprises but no wasted moments. It's all competently handled by director Motomo Ido, nothing too earth shattering but is very watchable when expectations aren't too demanding. The whole thing is thematically consistent with the rest of the series so it's fun to match the characters and situations with earlier incarnations although that does make things fairly predictable. Not making any more was the right decision.
