Somehow I missed this one when it was originally released. I was quite suprised when I stumbled across it and gave it a watch. This film is quite good. It is a "Donnie Brosco" story type involving the Japanese Yakuza which is there form of organized crime. Honor, respect and family are what the Yakuza hold most sacred, which is strange since they are basically criminals of the highest order. Viggo is strong as ever playing an FBI agent going undercover to infiltrate the Yakuza. The main theme is between Viggo and his boss who owes him a blood debt. It is very interesting as Viggo doesn't quite know what side he is on anymore. Very well told story
