The Threat

Self-satisfied salaryman Misawa (Rentarô Mikuni) knew a comfortable life in the lovely suburban home that he provided his wife Hiroko (Masumi Harukawa) and their two kids. That existence would come crashing in with a home invasion by a pair of fugitive kidnappers (Ko Nishimura, Hideo Murota)-.who'd make the emasculated executive a participant in their shakedown. Intense early effort from director Kinji Fukasaku co-stars Ken Mitsuda. 84 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Japanese; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; featurette; image gallery; theatrical trailer. In Japanese with English subtitles.
