Description: Five killers who couldn’t be more different find themselves on a Japanese Shinkansen bullet train with a kidnapping victim and a suitcase full of cash, hurtling toward the final stop, where one of Tokyo’s underworld bosses awaits them. First, the suitcase goes missing; then, the kidnapping victim dies under mysterious circumstances. The journey turns into a hellish ride peppered with absurd dialogue, at the end of which only one person will leave the train.
