Synopsis: Five gangsters meet on the day one of them gets out of jail, six years after they did a diamond robbery. Nobody knows where the diamonds are. For this special occasion, they are having a dinner yakusa-style: sushi on a naked girl laying on the table.
Review: The list of actors back from the 80's in this movie is impressive, and quite enjoyeable. Tony Todd is beautiful is his dark blue suit, black shirt and red tie, and Mark Hamill is surprising. But unlike in Machete or Expendables, humour is not part of this movie. This is more a gangster movie limited to one room (i.e. many dialogues) with few flashbacks six years in the past. The mood within this group is quite special, orchestrated by the Tony Todd character who enjoys staging and japanese traditions. What I didn't like in the movie were the intense and realistic torture scenes.
Rating: 6 /10
