Long plagued by poverty and crime, Kaiko City has been torn apart by rampant corruption and growing violence between the local Yakuza faction and a notorious Korean crime boss. But when a mafia-connected businessman runs for mayor and begins systematically eliminating his opponents, a former police captain imprisoned for a brutal murder is released in a final desperate effort to reclaim the city.
The sophomore effort from director Kensuke Sonomura (Hydra), Bad City stars legendary Japanese actor Hitoshi Ozawa (Takeshi Kitano’s Boiling Point, Takashi Miike’s Dead or Alive), Akane Sakanoue (Alice in Borderland, Ultraman X), Masanori Mimoto (Enter The Fat Dragon, Hydra, Takashi Miike’s Yakuza Apocalypse), Lily Franky (Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Academy Award-nominated Shoplifters), and Tak Sakaguchi (Versus, Death Trance, Prisoners Of The Ghostland).
Bad City hits digital exclusively on August 1, before arriving on Blu-ray and DVD on September 19 from Well Go USA Entertainment.
