Synopsis: Kitano appears in the film himself (as is the norm) as cop Nishi who leaves a stakeout to visit his dying wife in hospital. One of his colleagues is paralysed in the ensuing shootout. Grief-stricken that he wasn't there, Nishi goes on the run with his wife to try and spend some time with her before she dies |
