Overview

  • NEON released the film’s teaser and first-look images on Monday, confirming a world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
  • The film stars Shun Oguri as a disgraced Tokyo detective, with Lily James as an enigmatic FBI agent and WWE’s Liv Morgan as the missing daughter named in the official synopsis.
  • Daisuke Tengan wrote the screenplay and Takashi Miike directs, with production credits listing Pressman Film, Recorded Picture Company, Nippon Television and OLM among partners.
  • The teaser and images frame the movie as a neon-soaked neo-noir about corruption, addiction and violence without revealing major plot twists or endings.
  • This entry continues the loose Bad Lieutenant tradition of standalone films about compromised cops and is being positioned at TIFF to attract critics, buyers and an eventual NEON U.S. release date.
