About Jingi 23: Bodyguard
The long-established Kanto Ichienkai, Nabarikai, was shaking. Chairman Nabari is suffering from an elderly illness of 80 and is trying to give his mark to someone. The ambitious young head Tezuka naturally thought that he was the tracer, but Nabari nominated his granddaughter, who recently learned of his existence. Tezuka, who has turned upside down, secretly seeks out his granddaughter and plans to kill him.
Directed by Noboru Matsui, Jingi 23: Bodyguard leans on a strong ensemble — Riki Takeuchi, Toshihiko Sakakibara, Jun Matsuda — 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 screen titles of 2000.
