Twisted Justice / 日本最坏的家伙们

Taking his inspiration from the biggest scandal in Japan’s police history, Kazuya Shiraishi has created a massive and sinister crime epic about the grand forces of corruption that brings to mind the best of Kinji Fukasaku’s yakuza movies (​Cops vs. Thugs among others). Starting in 1970s Hokkaido like a nervous Japanese Starsky & Hutch–​chan, the film charts the moral descent of Detective Moroboshi (Go Ayano) over three decades. Green in years but already hard‐grained and ready to play rough, the young cop quickly gets a bit too cozy with the other side of the law when his senior colleague Murai (Pierre Taki) teaches him the ropes and ruts of the police business. Soon, he swaggers and rants through the streets of Sapporo a lean, mean, sex‐crazy bully, indistinguishable from a yakuza. Burning with the same blaze as the hard‐boiled classics of yore, ​Twisted Justice scorches away the sleekness and macho self‐congratulation of the genre. ​大学时代学习柔道的诸星要一（绫野刚 饰），凭借特长而被借调到北海道担任刑警。没有比赛的日子里，他终日负责无聊杂务，满腔的正义之情无处释放。在警署金牌刑警村井（皮埃尔泷 饰）的点拨下，一直以来非黑即白的诸星茅塞顿开，他大肆发展线人，狂刷积分，于是成为北海道道警中的得力干将。他与黑道大哥黑岩胜典（中村狮童 饰）、毒品贩子山边太郎（Young Dais 饰）等灰色地带人物称兄道弟，依靠他们收缴枪支以完成警署指标，甚至动用公家资金贩卖毒品、走私枪支。诸星满心以为自己在做正义之事，却不曾想早已离他的梦想越来越远…… 　　本片根据前北海道警察稻叶圭昭的真实事件改编。
