As sword meets flesh and the three villains slam backwards through a wooden lattice, the mastermind behind the mayhem can't suppress a smile.

...regales them with tales of how much his hotel accommodations cost on a recent trip. "Very much expensive," he repeats, as they dutifully nod. Across the room a powerfully built man in his 30s - displaying the latest Tokyo gangster style with his buzz cut and loud, metallic-colored tracksuit - sprawls on a couch, sleeping. A young blond sits by his side staring into space...
