Stylish blend of genres

A yakuza film that blends in elements of 007 gadgetry and a spaghetti western soundtrack and vibe. The chubby cheeked Joe Shishido plays an assassin who, along with his buddy, finds himself being hunted after a hit. It's a pretty simple story but I liked it for that, and for all of its cool male fantasy elements. One of those is a car which has a secret brake installed in the backseat, you know, in case you get carjacked! It's awful contrived to get to the ending - I mean, why did he drug and leave his partner to begin with, and why didn't the bad guys just take him directly off the boat during the exchange? But I didn't mind, because the film is so stylish.
