Rating:  - American Yakuza - Gives Both America and The Yakuza a Bad Name

Rating:  - AMERICAN YAKUZA
I ordered the product as I had seen the movie before and this movie kept my attention and still does. Sometime I like to spend the day looking at old movies and this one is still at the top. Suspenseful. Very pleased on the timeliness of the delivery. Your web site made it easy to find.
