What American Yakuza is
Port warehouses. Crack of dawn. Distant foghorns. Fresh out of prison, Nick takes a job with a Japanese crime family, saves a life, and swears an oath. Turns out, Nick's an undercover Fed, caught between two warring mobs. Cappello’s lurid crime-thriller plays best as a hard-boiled VHS artifact.
