Murakawa, a Tokyo-based yakuza enforcer, has grown tired of gangster life. He is sent by his boss to Okinawa, supposedly to mediate a dispute between their allies, the Nakamatsu and Anan clans. Starring creator Takeshi Kitano. Roger Ebert writes: "It shows how violent gangster movies need not be filled with stupid dialogue, nonstop action, and gratuitous gore. Sonatine is pure, minimal, and clean in its lines. In Kitano's universe, violence is as transient as a lightning bolt."
