'Hard Romanticker' On HK DVD

 

CN Entertainment have announced the HK DVD release of 'Hard Romanticker' for the 23rd August, 2012. Based on a semi-autobiographical novel by director Gu Su-Yeon, the film tells the tale of a lowly member in a Korean gang trying to get by on the mean streets of Japan's Shimonoseki city.

Synopsis

Gu (Shota Matsuda) is a hard-nosed Korean-Japanese hoodlum living in Shimonoseki, Japan. When friends "accidentally" kill the grandmother of a ruthless North Korean-Japanese thug, a whirlwind of violence and revenge is set to explode. In the process, Gu, having no fear, pisses off a string of other criminal gang members and Korean-Japanese thugs who all want him dead. There's also Detective Fujita (Atsuro Watabe) lingering in the shadows looking for Gu, but where is Gu?

Meanwhile, Gu lucks his way into a managerial job for a hostess club, run by a suave man named Takagi (Shido Nakamura). Instincts tells Gu that Takagi is more than he seems. In fact, Takagi works for a rival gang and may be involved with drugs. When Gu returns to Shimonoseki all hell is about to break loose.
