Violent Cop (2000): Cast & Plot

Azuma is a police detective who lives with his Akari, his cognitively challenged sister whom he protects fiercely, and he bears a heavy gambling burden that constantly drags him into debt. He also has a strong sense of morality and a reputation for using excessive violence with criminals, often bending or ignoring police rules when they get in the way. For example, after witnessing a gang of teenage boys beat a homeless man for amusement, he goes into the gang leader’s home, administers a brutal beating, and then extracts a promise that the leader will surrender himself and the others the next day. his superiors, impressed by his results, tolerate his frequent rule-breaking by making him write apologies whenever he commits an unlawful act.
