    Throw this in a garbage can and this garbage can in a bigger garbage can.
    What a deception this movie which I believed at first to be a fierce and violent crime flick from Japan, in the kind of films made by the likes of Kinji Fukasaku. Yes, what a mess this tale of counterfeiters that remains more a comedy than anything else. The copy was top quality, no question about that. But the story is horrible, the characters terrible, only a gunfight scene in an elevator shaft is nearly worth. Nearly. This director is the same who made the feature commented just before. This guy is definitely not Kinji Fukasaku.

    Forget it folks. Anyway it seems to be very hard to get it. The best would be it to remain this way.
