The film is widely regarded for its "cool," sleazy 1970s aesthetic and its sharp social commentary.
The film follows (Matsuda), a seemingly mild-mannered accountant for a major oil company. By day, he is an invisible "salaryman" drone; by night, he is a lethal assassin and thief.
His plan grows increasingly convoluted as he clashes with the Yakuza and corrupt executives, eventually spiraling into a violent, "scorched earth" finale.
