A violent gangster film that manages to be hauntingly beautiful, RAINY DOG is a departure from the splatter of director Takashi Miike`s other films. Yuuji (Sho Aikawa) is a Yakuza down on his luck and barely getting by on assassination jobs given him by a local boss in Taiwan, when a woman from his past reappears along with a son he never knew about. The woman abandons the boy with Yuuji, and along with his newfound responsibility comes a desire to provide a life of security for his new family, which includes a prostitute with whom Yuuji has taken up. He is forced to fight for the sactuary he seeks, however, finding himself caught in the midst of a gangland war and confronted with another Yakuza who may have a contract out on him. Reminiscent of Japanese noir films and replete with mood and characterization that take precedence over the violent action, this is the second installment of Miike`s stunning Black Society Trilogy.
