Big Time Gambling Boss
CrimeDramaThriller95 min
In 1934 Tokyo, the gambling clan that controls the city faces a succession crisis when its ailing boss can no longer lead and Nakai refuses the offer to take his place. Koji Tsuruta is at the center of the standoff, as the elders push for a quick decision and Nakai argues for the jailed veteran Matsuda instead. When the clan turns to the younger Ishido, old loyalties and questions of rank begin to split the organization. Sumiko Fuji appears in a cast of gamblers, bosses, and retainers moving through a world of ritual, obligation, and underworld politics.
