The Shinjuku Incident

Rate: 3.5 out of 5


In the early 1990's, a tractor mechanic from China nicknamed Steelhead illegally enters Japan to search for his girlfriend. To make ends meet, he joins his friend in Shinjuku in doing menial labour. Steelhead finds out that his girlfriend has married Eguchi, a Japanese Yakuza leader. Steelhead decides to stay on in Japan and work for Eguchi as a hitman. Soon, Steelhead gets used to the power and finds himself embroiled so deeply in the ways of the underworld that there is no turning back.

Personally, i think this movie still acceptable to watch...really painful story, a band of common people leave their home country for money and become criminals. At first, they are pitiful, at the end they are wicked.

I dunno why I got a bad feedback from my colleagues asking me not to go watch...However, my mum wanted to watch this movie. Luckily, nvr wasted my 2 hrs... and RM20 movie tix for 2 pax.
