The opening to an excellent 1992 Japanese film. A grand old Japanese hotel wants a prestigious contract as the site of a summit meeting of important foreign officials. Unfortunately, this hotel is quite popular with the Yakuza, and is a favourite target of theirs for extortion. They employ a variety of schemes to con the establishment out of 'hush-money.' The hotel needs to rid itself of these gangsters, and finally begins to fight back by hiring Mahiru Inoue, a lawyer who is an expert at dealing with these criminals on their own terms. This film by Juzo Itami combines action with farce, as an all-out war ensues. (Imdb)
