tory

Distracted by the sight of a handsome, nearly naked man sprinting across a winding mountain road, Toshiko (Shie Kohinata) inadvertently interrupts a mob execution by crashing her car into a limo full of eccentric assassins. Fresh from a frenzied menage a trois, Belmondo-cool Samehada (Tadanobu Asano) seduces Toshiko into a life or death race with an army of mob killers joined by a moon-walking, love struck amateur hit-man dispatched by Toshiko's depraved uncle.
