One-Percenter

An action star who believes movie fights should be realistic rather than choreographed attempts to revive his career by producing his own film. He chooses a remote, abandoned factory on an island as the setting for his project. Upon arrival, he discovers the location is being used by rival yakuza gangs who are fighting over a hidden cache of cocaine. While his crew is terrified, the actor views the gangsters and a dangerous martial arts assassin as free extras he can fight on camera.

The film was directed and written by Yudai Yamaguchi, following his work on The ABCs of Death. The cast features Tak Sakaguchi, who also served as a producer alongside Ota Takayuki and Ryô Uchiyama. Other main roles were played by Kohei Fukuyama, Kanon Narumi, Rumika Fukuda, Sho Aoyagi, and Norihisa Hiranuma.

Released on April 12, 2023, the Japanese production has a runtime of 85 minutes. Audience reception is mixed to positive, with a rating of 5.9/10 on IMDb from 579 votes and 6.3/10 on TMDB from 18 votes. Film critics gave the movie a higher score of 6.9/10 based on 13 reviews.
