## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Shinjuku neon rain slicks the blacktop. A Triad lieutenant counts cash under a blinking crane claw. A cop’s badge glints in the same glow, tracking the same wet streets.

Three bullets, one night—gangland shake-up in neon haze. Dawn cracks over empty vending machines.

Miike’s yakuza ballet still hauls 1999’s cramped, crackling chaos without apology.

**Mood tags**: body-horror, neon-soaked, raw, unhinged
