(1996)
Regisseur:
Ryûhei KitamuraSchauspieler:
Shigeru Izumiya, Toshiyuki Kitami, Masami Miyata, Shun Sugata, Kazuma Suzuki, Shinichi Suzuki, Atsuro WatabeZwei Gangster sollen eine Leiche in einem verwaisten Landhaus verschwinden lassen, aber diese ist nicht mehr da. Kurz darauf taucht der angeblich Tote wieder quicklebendig und mit schiesskräftiger Unterstützung dort auf und sorgt nicht nur für Verwirrung bei den beiden, sondern auch für bleihaltige Luft...
Heat After Dark is director Ryuhei Kitamura's first theatrical release. This 50 minute film is predominantly a character study within an intense action drama. Those familiar with Kitamura's later works, perhaps especially Versus will realize this is the beginning of his characetristic modus operandi. Here, the well defined characters consist of the innocent (the cop), the relatively good (Atsuro Watabe), the relatively bad (Shinichi Suzuki), and the absolutely bad (Shigeru Izumiya ), and a few other Yakuza hoodlums thrown in for entertainment.
