Many of the 60 features Kinji Fukasaku directed were crime and action pictures, but this 1970 story of five youths who run aground in a Tokyo that has little use for the poorly educated is closer to a cri de coeur than a conventional genre piece. Briefly imprisoned for brawling, the boys become entrepreneurial partners, pooling their resources to buy a truck. But one becomes a father, another is imprisoned, a third is killed, and the two who remain quarrel. The handheld 'Scope imagery does a good job of conveying youthful energy denied an outlet; viewing the film is a bit like being bounced around inside a cage. In Japanese with subtitles. 90 min.
