A stylish, subversive thriller from suspense maverick Kiyoshi Kurosawa (CURE, PULSE), concerning Yoshii, an ambitious, yet directionless, young factory worker from Tokyo who side hustles in the murky realm of black market reselling, cheating buyers and sellers alike. After swindling his way into loads of cash, Yoshii gradually attempts to disconnect from humanity, moving out of the city, shunning his girlfriend, and entrusting duties to his new, devoted assistant. Before long his life is plagued by a series of mysterious, sinister incidents that threaten to upend his success and bring about a most violent demise. A master of carefully simmering tension to a bloody  crescendo, Kurosawa delivers a searing portrait of digital greed and vengeance.

“A brilliant action movie as only [Kurosawa] would think to make one.” (Indiewire)

“[Kurosawa’s] most unapologetically fun film to date.” (Moveable Fest)

“”Kurosawa’s latest film is a chilly and mystifying expression of a modern malevolence which hangs over our lives.” (Empire Magazine)
