An online scam leads to deadly consequences in Kurosawa Kiyoshi’s chilling tech thriller.

Disenchanted factory worker, Ryosuke Yoshi (Masaki Suda), makes money on the side reselling anything he can to make a profit online. Operating under the alias ‘Ratel’, he peddles a mix of genuine and counterfeit goods, but when a band of disgruntled customers seek revenge, Ryosuke’s greed leads him to a desperate struggle for his life.

Japanese director Kurosawa Kiyoshi’s captivating thriller balances moments of atmospheric psychological tension with ferocious, violent action sequences to serve as a searing critique of commodification and the dehumanizing effects of online anonymity.
