Great! The first film of the "Game" trilogy, followed not long after by The Killing Game and The Execution Game... A stylish 70s crime thriller with few words, a simple story, but all the more action. Not as raw and brutal as the yakuza films from that era, but rather playful and lighthearted. The jazzy soundtrack is a real bonus, and some might recognize the lead actor from the Ridley Scott film Black Rain, where he played the bad guy. A fine film as far as I'm concerned.
