Violent Cop is the explosive and critically acclaimed directorial debut from Japanese master film maker 'Beat' Takeshi Kitano.

Kitano is Azuma- a vicious detective who deals out harsh justice with an iron fist- Dirty Harry style.

Investigating a drug dealer's murder, Azuma and rookie detective Kikuchi find fellow officers are on the take. When Azuma is caught for beating a gangster he is forced to quit the force. After the gang kidnaps his sister as retribution, Azuma goes on a merciless rampage of revenge.
With Kitano's Zen like direction VIOLENT COP is a stylish, smart and skull shattering reinvention of the Japanese Yakuza genre.
