Many years later, the boy has become a violent offender, and while awaiting trial, he’s transported to a prison where he tries to blend in.
But amongst his cellmates, not many of them want to be his friends. Sakaguchi shows that he can play a mild mannered character, but he is a lot more lovable as a psycho killer—like in his other film,...
