Jelisije J A nice little 90s action film that did a half ass job with its story of an undercover fbi agent infiltrates the Yakuza and is torn between his world of law and order. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/18/24 Full Review Steve D its stars fans may enjoy but there isn't much to it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/12/23 Full Review Interested P Painfully underrated. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/23 Full Review brendan n American Yakuza is a time passer and one that deserved a better filmmaker at the helm. Viggo Mortensen carries this film the entire way and without him it would've been relegated to the depths of obscurity. The film is short and offers a little twist on the standard undercover storyline. The action scenes are quite bad, but it's one of those films that are bad they are still fun. This could have been an interesting film. 05/08/2019 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Like low-budget Black Rain. Viggo Mortensen is the balls in this early role. Robert Forster adds some extra class as his boss. The action is very John Woo but overall decent. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Gotta love early 90's films. Other than being outdated, this was interesting somewhat engaging. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
