When Nick Davis leaves prison after one year in solitaire, he is hired to operate forklift in a warehouse in the harbor owned by the Japanese Yakuza patriarch Isshin Tendo. The place is assaulted by the Italian Mafia leaded by Dino Campanela and Nick rescues and saves the life of Shuji Sawamoto, who is the representative of Yakuza interests in America. Shuji hires Nick to work for Yakuza and becomes his godfather in the family after his oath to join Yakuza. However, Nick is a lonely FBI undercover agent assigned to penetrate in the criminal organization. When the FBI discovers that Campanela is organizing a massive attack to destroy the Yakuza, Nick's boss Littman calls off the operation to leave the dirty work to the Italian Mafia. But the connection of Nick with Shuji and his goddaughter Yuko forces him to help his Japanese family.

| Movie GazetteAnton BitelIt is is in effect 'The Godfather: the next Generation' - an immigrant saga of family, blood and assimilation that just happens to be set in the world of organised crime. |
| User ReviewCarlton DVery good movie; realistic, but very sad. |
| User ReviewGlen SAn early Viggo film, average story, but well directed and some of the acting is incredibly good, i defy you not to be shocked when it hits the fan, it's all about family and loyalty. |
| User Reviewgary twell umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch,.,its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie...i think that viggo mortensen, michael nouri, robert forster, nicky katt play good parts throughout this movie,,,i think that the director of this Action & Adventure, Mystery & Suspense movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie..i think that the fight scenes n the gun shoot outs were pretty kewl throguhout this movie...its a good movie 2 watch n the car chase scenes were pretty kewl as well throughout this movie |
| User ReviewMike Areally enjoyed this, blood and shootings galore, with a decent ending well worth watching |
| User ReviewPaul DACTUALLY A VERY GOOD MOVIE. ACTING IS A LITTLE STIFF. bUT AN INTERESTING MOVIE |
| User Reviewmeg rBETTER THAN YOU'D THINK. LOTS OF ACTION |
| User ReviewBrian MLike everything bad... and good about the eighties all rolled into one!!! |
| User ReviewAZ DThis is a B-Movie gem starring Vigo Mortensen as an undercover cop who infiltrates the Yakuza and the ever posed question is asked, duty or honor? A great find for Yakuza and Vigo fans alike! |
| User ReviewThu SI grew up on these sort of films, good story, low budget and some creative action sequences that 'Big Hollywood' are still stealing today. Viggo Mortensen shows why he was always destined to rise. |
