Goemon (2009)

"City" is a modern day "Goemon" with the same unique cinematography. Friends pitted against each other by a corrupt empire. A cliched plot, but excellently portrayed.

They steal from the rich and give to the poor, gaining the support of people.

Jin and Liu, two police captains, are ordered to kill the new leader within ten days.

Gatchaman is based on a popular anime franchise of the same name created by Tatsuo Yoshida in the early 1970s.
