Two strangers, one weird deal: walk across Tokyo or get your legs broken. Wanna tag along?
A thug offers to pay a law student's gambling debt if the student will accompany him on a trip across Tokyo.
Acting
Miura's warm menace against Odagiri's lost-puppy energy.
Cinematography
Tokyo becomes a character—intimate, sprawling, slightly surreal.
Writing
Dialogue so dry it practically crunches.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Satoshi Miki adapted his own novel, and the film's episodic structure mirrors his signature style in Japanese TV comedy.
The film quietly subverts yakuza tropes—Fukuhara's violence is mostly backstory, foregrounding a tender, dying man's last friendship instead.
