Ex-Cop Akikazu (Kōji Yakusho) fristet sein Dasein als heruntergekommener Supermarktdetektiv mit Hang zum Alkohol. Als seine Tochter Kanako (Nana Komatsu) verschwindet, begibt er sich auf eine qualvolle und bald rasende Suche, die verstörende Enthüllungen bereithält. Denn der Apfel ist nicht weit vom Stamm gefallen und Kanako hat eine verheerende Spur aus Drogen, Sex und Gewalt hinterlassen. Akikazu steht einer Verdorbenheit gegenüber, die alles, was ihm lieb war, demaskiert – und ihm zugleich einen grellen Spiegel vorhält. (Rapid Eye Movies)

Golden youth. Golden police. Golden mud. Golden comedy. Filthy to the core, but well made. Brutal fascination with death. That's probably why everyone loved Kanako. She sought her out sadistically. Existence must have been pretty unbearable. Despite the brutality and a certain, almost comedic, excessiveness, I think it's a film that has something to say and is essentially a contemporary Japanese critique of society (just take a moment to read a Japanese newspaper and its crime section and you'll get it). You can smell the seed of Kokuhaku on it, but it bloomed bloody indeed.

These are the Japanese exactly how I like them. The film has a revenge essence, which isn't necessary, but it's an element that always draws me in. However, there's primarily brutality, which is almost inappropriate, but brilliantly executed. Additionally, there are bizarre elements like the sudden animated sequences, even though they're just short shots. And there is also the oppressive rawness.
