Sweden American Yakuza first time ever on Blu-ray

Swedish label Studio S Entertainment is preparing a first time release on Blu-ray for Frank A. Capello's
American Yakuza. The movie staring Viggo Mortensen, Ryo Ishibashi, Michael Nouri and Robert Forster is expected to hit the market October 31 this year.



Description: (Swedish)
American Yakuza (Blu-ray/VoD)
VIGGO MORTENSENS ACTIONSUCCÉ – PÅ BLU-RAY FÖR FÖRSTA GÅNGEN NÅGONSIN!

Den japanska maffian, den så kallade yakuzan, breder ut sig alltmer i USA. FBI-agenten Nick David får i uppdrag att infiltrera organisationen och lyckas rädda livet på en av maffialedarna, vilket gör att han som tack blir den första amerikanen att föräras medlemskap i det blodiga brödraskapet. Samtidigt som han stiger i graderna och deltar i kriget mellan yakuzan och den italienska maffian börjar han uppskatta sin position inom organisationen lite väl mycket. Snart så kommer han behöva välja mellan lojaliteten till lag och ordning och den förföriska lockelsen till den undre världens spännande värld. Hur han än gör riskerar han att hamna som nr. 1 på flertal dödslistor.

AMERICAN YAKUZA blev en oväntad succé 1993 och innebar inledningen på Viggo Mortensens klättring upp mot de riktigt höga höjderna med blockbusters som ”Rött hav”, ”G.I. Jane”, ”Ett perfekt mord” och förstås rollen som Aragorn i ”Sagan om ringen”-trilogin. Efter sistnämnda megaproduktion har Mortensen istället valt mer allvarliga roller (bland annat i en triss filmer av David Cronenberg) vilket har inneburit tre Oscarnomineringar på bara tio år. Senast nominerades han för ”Green Book”.

I've been waiting very long for this to be released. Let's hope at least English subtitles for the Japanese dialogue will be provided.

Me neither. I rate Viggo... but yeah, never heard of the film itself.

Yes, I like it very much. Done with style and good actors. In part it's kind of a John Woo film without John Woo. Has themes like friendship and loyalty with a lot of gun- and swordsplay towards the end.
Viggo is a loner cop working undercover while a war is going on between the mafia and the yakuza on US soil. He manages to gain the trust and friendship of one of the yakuza bosses and falls in love with a Japanese girl. And when things escalate he has to decide where his loyalties lie.
