Overview

A would-be bank robber forgets his mask on his first big heist, and then botches an attempt to shoplift a replacement mask from a nearby convenience store. The store's clerk, a washed-up rock star, chases the thief and literally runs into a Yakuza to whom he owes money. Thus begins an all-night, three-way pursuit through the streets of Tokyo.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A high-octane comedy chase film that treats Tokyo as a sprawling playground where mistaken identity and bad luck collide. It's a pure adrenaline rush wrapped in absurdist humor, sustained running and slapstick comedy for 82 minutes straight.
