FILMLINE

Jesus is My Boss!

This movie focuses on Yuji and Shima, member of rival branches of the Yakuza in Japan. These two share much in common. They both begin the film as ruthless killers loyal to their bosses, they both have Korean wives waiting patiently and praying fervently for their redemption and they both are eventually betrayed by the gangs they placed their faith in.

Their reactions to betrayal are quite different, however. Yuji promises his wife that he will start over. After listening to another former Yakuza member give a sermon in church, Yuji gets the idea that he can attone for his sins by building a cross and carrying it from one end of Japan to the other.

Along the way, he meets other gangsters and thugs who join him in his march. Shima, however, wants to prove his worth to the Yakuza and decides that the only way he can do that is by killing his former rival, Yuji.
