The yakuza's stronghold on Japan is legendary, but when the governor of Tokyo is assassinated and his wife's sister is kidnapped, ex-CIA agent Travis Hunter (Seagal) vows to find the men responsible for murdering his brother-in-law

Nothing special, but competently made by Seagal's usual direct-to-DVD standards.
...all one really expects out of a Seagal movie is a lot of arm-breaking and twirling kicks.
After failing to get the green light to remake The Yakuza, Seagal went to work on this film instead, which is surprisingly one of his best in years. Seagal not only starred in this film, but also wrote the screenplay and executive produced it and it's a very good film. Good action and a moderate pace make it enjoyable

Steven Seagal back to his best, some top action sequences. This movie music playing in about every place, a novelty chopstick death, Eddie George getting shot up at the beginning, swordplay.
