In America, they call it the Mafia. In Japan, they call it Yakuza. When they meet, they call it war!
Viggo Mortensen and Michael Nouri star in this explosive action-thriller about the first American accepted into the savage brotherhood of Japan's criminal underworld.
Sent to infiltrate the American arm of the Yakuza, FBI agent Nick Davis (Mortensen) rises through the ranks of assassins and is soon adopted into the powerful Tendo crime family. His work brings him into brutal conflict with not only the Italian mob, run by Dino Campanela (Nouri) and hotheaded enforcer Vic (Nicky Katt, Boiler Room), but also a hard-nosed FBI task force guided by unscrupulous Agent Littman (Robert Forster, Jackie Brown).
Caught dead centre in a war between the Yakuza, the mob, and the FBI, Davis must decide what's more important: his old loyalties' or his new bond of blood.

Ganster movies are not really my thing but at one time I was interested in all thing's Japanese,hence I looked at this after buying the video from a car boot sale for yes...£3.I loved it so much I bought the dvd & then bought the sequel American Yakuza 2.Which is just as good.Not martial arts but about honour,duty,loyalty,service,justice & friendship.There is plenty of action & both have good stories.Viggo is a very good actor & the Japanese actors are just as good.I have watched this a few times & it does not get boring,it is a little known gem of a film.Touching & hilarious in places with a good backing track.A Classic.
