Samehada (Tadanobu Asano) is on the run after stealing 100 million yen from the Yakuza. The strangest band of Yakuza goons are after him, each one quirkier than the other. While on the run he literally smashes into Toshiko (Sie Kohinata) who is also on the run for other reasons. Together they form Sharkskin Man and Peach Hip Girl and the ride begins.
Asano continues to impress and Katsuhito Ishii is indeed a Japanese Wes Anderson. But it is Tatsuya Gashuin (Grandpa in Taste of Tea) who puts a unique stamp on the film with his role of the most bizzare hitman ever.
