SUMMARY
Comedy. A cunning anti-Yakuza lawyer works together with two naïve hotel employees to expose the Yakuza for their crimes of extortion. The film ends with the lawyer getting stabbed, but the rest of the hotel standing up to the Yakuza.
RATING
A
In a world where the Yakuza takes advantage of businesses - particularly a hotel named Hotel Europa - by extorting them for money (e.g. Complaining about bad food or bad service and threatening to go to the government about it), a cunning lawyer works to expose them of their crimes. Itami's signature dry humor is on display here and the film is quietly hilarious.
