Lee Sang-il’s Border Line co-scribe, director Hajime Matsuura’s latest return to the director’s chair now grants us a preview for upcoming whipsmart crime flick, Hard Boiled Recipe. The film reteams the director with actress and pop idol Chiaki Mayumura, the title star of the director’s 2020 flick, All About Chiaki Mayumura.
Matsuura directs Hard Boiled Recipe from his own script, joining Mayumura with Blade Of The 47 Ronin actress Luna Fujimoto for the story centered around a major arms deal in the criminal underworld, enveloping a horde of players on both sides of the law including an unreliable bodyguard (Mayumura) and a courier (Fujimoto). The film also stars Takuma Nagao (Outrage Coda), Sen Fujimaru (Prisoners Of The Ghostland), and Ayane (Mad Cats), along with Ayane Tomiya, Kota Aoyagi, Yoshiki Urayama, Tomoki Kimura, and Mariko Tsutsui, and features action sequences by Isao Karasawa.
Mayumura also served as executive producer and music director on the film, which is currently running a screening series that will wrap on December 22 at Shinjuku K’s Cinema as part of Moosic Lab’s programme. Check out the brief, albeit bustling teaser trailer below!
