The film
About the film
IN AMERICA, THEY CALL IT THE MAFIAâ IN JAPAN, THEY CALL IT YAKUZAâ WHEN THEY MEET, THEY CALL IT WAR!
When Japanese filmmaking powerhouse Toei Pictures decided to expand their iconic V-Cinema line to North America, the first result was the explosively violent American Yakuza, featuring an early lead performance from Viggo Mortensen in the title role.
Ex-convict Nick Davis (Mortensen) gets a job in a factory that turns out to be owned by a powerful Japanese crime family. When Nick intervenes in a fiery confrontation and saves the life of family member Shuji (Ryo Ishibashi), he finds himself climbing the deadly ranks of the Yakuza in its bloody war against the Mafia. There’s one problem, however: Nickâ™s real name is David Brandt, and he’s an undercover FBI agent whose loyalties will soon be tested to their breaking point.
Featuring a stellar supporting cast including Michael Nouri, Franklyn Ajaye, Nicky Katt, and Robert Forster, director Frank Cappello weaves an exhilarating tale of deception and betrayal in this underseen transcontinental gangster thriller.
