Synopsis
Kurosagi est un film basé sur la série de 2006 "Kurosagi". Kurosaki, le héros de cette histoire est un garçon dont la famille a été décimée par la faute d'un "Shirosagi" il y a six ans. Depuis ce jour, il n'a d'autre objectif que de venger les siens et s'est juré, pour cela, de détruire tous les escrocs de ce monde. Avec l'aide du vieux Katsuragi qui lui fournit les informations dont il a besoin, Kurosaki se glisse dans la peau de victimes potentielles afin de mieux piéger les escrocs de l'intérieur et dédommager les victimes de ces derniers. Pour devenir un escroc impitoyable, il a dû faire des sacrifices et, notamment, celui de ne plus avoir d'attaches et de dire adieu à l'amour. Cependant dès l'instant où il sauve Tsurara (qui allait se faire écraser par un train), les choses deviennent totalement différentes.Actors

Nijima, ouvrier marqué par l'assassinat de sa fille survenu six ans auparavant, rencontre un jour Iwamatu, un ancien ami d'enfance, qui lui propose de venir travailler dans son entreprise. D'abord réticent et dubitatif face au manque de précisions de l'offre, il finit par accepter motivé par une envie de changement. Il deviendra un acteur important d'une organisation aux méthodes criminelles particulièrement violentes. Pas exactement une séquelle de Serpent's Path (tourné quasi-simultanément à celui-ci et avec également Shô Aikawa en héros), Eyes of the Spider est une relecture intéressante centrée cette fois sur une organisation criminelle, dont l'univers si particulier est dépeint avec froideur mais aussi beaucoup de second degré.
