Graveyard of Honor (Takashi Miike)

FROM THE LINER NOTES

In Japan's underground yakuza society, some men define themselves by honor, others by vengeance... and some are beyond definition - cold-blooded merciless sociopaths.

Graveyard of Honor is the story of Rikuo Ishimatsu, a lowly dishwasher who unknowingly saves the life of a Yakuza boss and quickly rises to a position of power in his gang. Loyally supporting his boss, Ishimatsu wreaks havoc on anyone who stands in their way. Inevitably earning himself a trip to the slammer. Five years later, he is released, and expects to rejoin theonly family he has ever known. But his short temper turns a simple misunderstanding into an escalating orgy of violence that destroys everyone around him.
