About A True Record: The Last Sōkaiya
Ōhara Ryūji (Riki Takeuchi) becomes unable to manage his life due to debts from baseball gambling. He goes to Tokyo, practically fleeing in the middle of the night, but his innate love of gambling doesn’t disappear, and he even lays his hands on the money at his workplace. At that time, someone suggests that he should become a sōkaiya. In order to repay his debts, he begins training to become one. Then, he starts to search for the true path of a sōkaiya…
Directed by Takeshi Watanabe, A True Record: The Last Sōkaiya leans on a strong ensemble — Riki Takeuchi, Mansaku Fuwa, Mao Shiina — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2001.
