Angry Squad: Civil Servants & Seven Swindlers (アングリースクワッド 公務員と 7 人の詐欺師) (JFTFP26)

<b>Screening as part of the <a href="https://www.filmhouse.org.uk/japan-foundation-touring-film-programme">Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme 2026</a>, co-organised with the Japan Foundation.</b> An honest public servant teams up with a genius conman — Angry Squad finds heart in the hustle. Straight-laced tax office employee KUMAZAWA Jiro (UCHINO Seiyo, <i>First Love</i>, JFTFP22) falls victim to the clever scam of genius con artist HIMURO Makoto (OKADA Masaki), losing a large sum of money. With the help of his friend — a detective — Jiro confronts Makoto, who, instead of returning the money, proposes a deal: if Makoto helps Jiro con a crooked real estate tycoon (OZAWA Yukiyoshi), who evades billions of yen in tax and whom Jiro and his tax office have been unsuccessfully pursuing, Jiro will spare him. Despite his scruples as an upright public servant and law-abiding citizen, Jiro agrees. Together, they assemble a team of colourful misfits to form the “Angry Squad”, launching a bold and grand mission to reclaim the hidden fortune. However, there is something fishy inside the tax office itself, and Jiro’s long-suppressed feelings begin to resurface… <i>ANGRY SQUAD</i> sees <i>One Cut of the Dead</i> director UEDA Shinichiro depart from his previous works, adapting the 2016 Korean drama <i>Squad 38</i> for the Japanese silver screen — to thrilling and very colourful effect. Highly entertaining. <i>© 2024 "Angry Squad" Film Partners</i> <i>© 2024「アングリースクワッド」製作委員会</i>DramaPT2H12A2026-03-13
