In the neon-lit streets of Shinjuku, an elite marksman and incorrigible playboy private eye named Ryo Saeba teams up with his late partner's headstrong sister to investigate a conspiracy involving a banned super-soldier serum terrorizing Tokyo. The film balances slick gun-fu action with over-the-top comedic antics, exploring themes of partnership, loss, and justice in Tokyo's criminal underworld. As the first Japanese-produced live-action adaptation of Tsukasa Hojo's iconic 1985 manga, it leans into faithful manga-to-screen energy with exaggerated humor and stylized action set pieces.
