I don't want to waste time and beat around the bush here. I was expecting a 90s aesthetic praised film involving the Yakuza. I did receive this for a good maybe 20-25 minutes of the film. The reality of this movie is a rated R movie that is actually a lighthearted Japanese movie about being a child when you're an adult gang member. It essentially very cheaply shows the violence and morbidly stoic life of the Yakuza and clan disputes and then completely does a 180 on you and turns into adults finding peace, tranquility, and entertaining their inner child while at the beach.
This film will be for some people as it does have good cinematography, decent music selection, and atmospheric 90s Japan aesthetics. But this is what you would call a "character piece". The normal idea of plot and story telling is hidden within symbolism, metaphors, and aesthetics with a very small hint of lighthearted comedy.
