Summary: Kinji Fukasaku directed this powerful and uncompromising look at the deadly stakes of life among the Yakuza -- the Japanese Mafia. Shozo Hirono (Bunta Sugawara) is a former Japanese soldier who, following his nation's defeat in World War II, finds himself in a prison cell in Hiroshima on a murder charge. While behind bars, Hirono gains a loyal friend in fellow criminal Wagasugi (Tatsuo Umemiya), and upon his release Hirono joins Wagasugi in an underworld gang. What starts as a seemingly easy way to earn some quick money becomes something darker and bloodier... (All Movie Guide)

An extremely jarring and poignant examination of the utter brutality, senselessness and futility of the violent life of organized crime in Japan in the wake of and beyond the end of the Second World War.

Blasts along at a crazy pace, making it hard to keep track of the cartload of characters and their motivations. The presentation was pretty slick, and fans of organised crime style executions will have a field day with this. While I initially had a lot of fun with all the plotting, yakuza schemes and betrayals, the film doesn't really offer more than that, repeated many a time.

The first installment of Kenji Fukasaku's five-part yakuza saga tells of the origins of the Yamamori family in Hiroshima after World War II. The first five minutes introduce dozens of characters who are almost impossible to keep track of, but who are nearly all killed (with an accompanying blast from Toshiaki Tsushima's score) by the time the film concludes. You need a scorecard to figure out what's going on and who's ahead, and the film is ridiculously violent.
