- Synopsis:
- "Manhunt" sees the iconic Ken Takakura (A Fugitive from the Past, Black Rain, The Yakuza) reunited with Japan's top action director Junya Sato (The Bullet Train) in a high-octane crime thriller that takes him across the whole of Japan. When Fuyuto Morioka (Takakura), a chief prosecutor for the Ministry of Justice, is arrested for a crime he didn't commit, he escapes from custody. Trailed by a detective and two shadowy figures wielding shotguns, Morioka's investigation into who might want to see him locked away sees him uncover a dark web of government and corporate corruption involving a dangerous mind-controlling drug developed by a sinister pharmaceutical company.
