Premise
Toshiro Kuroda, a former black-ops soldier, lives a peaceful life in a small town with his adopted niece Sachi, but things take a drastic turn when Toshiro's past rival Phantom dispatches a team of assassins to finish Toshiro. When Sachi gets kidnapped by Phantom, Toshiro must use his deadly skills to protect Sachi and confront his past demons. == Cast ==
Cast
• Tak Sakaguchi as Toshiro Kuroda aka GHOST • Yura Kondo as Sachi • Takumi Saitoh as Kenji Makabe • Hitomi Hasebe as Shizuka Matsumoto • Mariko Shinoda as Newt • Masanori Mimoto as Fox • Hiroko Yashiki as Eagle • Makoto Sakaguchi as Casper • Orson Mochizuki as Max • Kenta as Masaru • Akio Otsuka as Phantom • Issei Ishida as Lock • Saori Izawa as Office Lady Killer • Masaya Kato as Defence Force Commander • Yoshitaka Inagawa as Abyss Walker == Release ==
Mark Schilling of The Japan Times stated that Sakaguchi is "still a convincingly lethal presence", while noting that the film's plot was similar to a video game wherein the protagonist faces a series of bosses, and that attempts by scriptwriter Benio Saeki to expand on that premise felt forced. == References ==
