What Cruel Gun Story is
Rain-slicked Tokyo streets. Chirp of crickets. A get-out-of-jail card. A yakuza proposal: hijack a payroll truck, 120 million yen inside, in exchange for his disabled sister's surgery. Togawa says yes, gathers his crew. The heist goes sideways fast. A lean, mean, post-noir from Nikkatsu Studios.
