Giri/Haji is a Japanese/British neo crime thriller.

It is stylishly shot and heavily influenced by Quentin Tarantino.

The story concerns a fatigued detective Kenzo Mori (Takehiro Hira) who has been sent to London. Ostensibly it is an exchange visit. Kenzo is searching for his younger brother Yuto.

Yuto is a gangster in Japan who was thought to have died. Now Yuto is linked to the death of a prominent Yakuza member.

Kenzo finds himself navigating the treacherous waters of both the London and Tokyo underworld. He wants to protect Yuto but needs to find him first.

Giri/Haji is hip, contemplative, violent and yet surreal.

It switches styles, there are anime parts and a lot of the dialogue is in Japanese.

For a television series, the visuals are very cinematic. It also tips a nod to Korean crime dramas as well.
