TRUE CRIME

TOKYO VICE Starzplaz on Amazon Prime

THE first 90-minute episode of this hard-hitting new crime series is directed by Michael Mann (Heat, Manhunter) and is as stylish and intense as you would expect. Ansel Elgort plays Jake Adelstein, an American journalist working as a reporter on a Japanese newspaper who takes on one of Tokyo’s most notorious crime bosses. His investigations get him into some tight spots as he delves into the city’s dark underbelly but he gets by on his tenacity and charisma. Gripping stuff based on a real-life memoir.
