Starring original Diamond Guy, Jo Shishido, Seijun Suzuki`s DETECTIVE BUREAU 2-3: GO TO HELL BASTARDS! (??????? ????????, Tantei Jimusho 23: Kutabare Akutoodomo, 1963) is a hard hitting, rapid-fire yakuza film that redefined the Japanese crime drama. Detective Tajima (Shishido) is tasked with tracking down a consignment of stolen firearms, as the investigation progresses things take an anarchic, blood-drenched grudge match. Rapidly paced, darkly funny, and extremely stylish, DETECTIVE BUREAU 2-3: GO TO HELL BASTARDS! is unlike anything seen before and rightly deserves its cult status. Suzuki`s send up of post-war greed would go on to cement his domestic and international status as one of the leading directors to come out of Japan.
