THE RAPACIOUS JAILBREAKER

Few actioners describe the futility of modern incarceration as well as THE RAPACIOUS JAILBREAKER, which ranks as one of the rawest entries in Japan’s Seventies cycle of true-crime films. In the free-for-all chaos after World War II, black marketeer Ueda (Hiroki Matsukata, COPS VS. THUGS) is robbed of a pound of morphine. He takes brutal revenge, but is sentenced to 20 years behind bars. He escapes and is caught, but no matter where they send him, Ueda won’t let prison walls stop him. Directed by a master of the genre and based on the real exploits of a seven-time prison escapee, Ueda refuses to be contained!
