Description:

Itsuka giragira suru hi - An overlooked crime thriller from the director of Battle Royale, The Triple Cross is littered with homage to crime classics and remains an essential entry in contemporary Japanese action cinema.

Following the bloody aftermath of a heist, a trio of aging bank robbers (including longtime Fukasaku cohort Sonny Chiba) are double-crossed by their bleached-haired twenty-something partner, who kills one, wounds another and runs off with the young mistress of the third. The only old-timer still standing decides to go for revenge and the money, in a fashion that's as relentless as anything the young upstarts are capable of.

Director Fukasuku Kinji keeps the action coming fast and furious, fed by heavy metal music and a steady diet of bold and colorful characters. For fans of action cinema, "The Triple Cross" must not be missed. This film is a blast!
