A meek car rental employee and a mousy nursing student wind up an unlikely Bonnie and Clyde when fate drops a sack full of mob money at their feet. In this case, fate's messy plan involves a fender-bender with a gangster, a gas explosion at a Yakuza clubhouse, and a bizarre, slow-speed ambulance wreck. The surly mob boss manages to survive and escape each of these setbacks, albeit in a pair of arm casts and with a lovesick head nurse in tow. In the meantime sleepy hero Suzuki (Masanobu Ando) and frustrated heroine Shizuko (Hikari Ishida) blow town with a fortune in large bills in hand and a bumbling gang of junior criminals close behind. Shinobu Yaguchi directs this deadpan farce with a calm assurance and a lolling, lazy pace, creating humor from the sheer absurdity of events and the frustrations of his characters: bullying blowhard Yakuza thugs, young punks whose attitude and spunk don't quite overcome their lack of common sense and basic survival skills, and a pair of underdogs who allow events to sweep them out of their dull, predictable lives of humiliation and quiet desperation. Suzuki and Shizuko hardly speak a word to each other but they nonetheless fall into a sweetly awkward romance in this charmingly oddball comedy. --Sean Axmaker Binding DVD.
