This second half of a two part project directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa is maybe not as good as the first one but it does stand alone as a very good low budget movie. With less suspense but with little comedic inputs it is litterally imposible not to enjoy things like camera work and framing. Very reminiscent of Takeshi Kitano´s Yakuza movies, it is one of those unknown and yet to discover little jems even though the director became more known in subsequent years.
There is no need of seeing the first half called Serpents Path, because they just share the premise and production. To know more about how this very rare project came alive check the IMdb trivia page of this movie that i updated myself.
