In Tokyo, the gangster Tetsu (Tetsuya Watari) regenerates when his yakuza boss Kurata (Ryuji Kita) decides to quit his criminal life. However, the mobster family leaded by Otsuka (Hideaki Esumi) threatens Kurata's legitimate business, and Tetsu decides to leave Kurata to relief the pressure on him. He leaves also his girlfriend Chiharu (Chieko Matsubara) and becomes a drifter moving to the country. When Tetsu is betrayed, he returns to Tokyo to resolve his situation.
"Tôkyô Nagaremono" is a different gangster movie, with a stylish and beautiful cinematography and also a very confused screenplay. The story recalls those spaghetti westerns, with the hero Tetsu looking like an invincible and invulnerable cowboy, never being mortally shot, and with the same type of conclusion, with Tetsu killing all his enemies and going away alone. This flick is not a masterpiece but entertains. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Tóquio Violenta" ("Violent Tokyo")
