A tale of scarfaces

I just got a fax from a film producer in Japan telling me about a film called "A 
tale of scarfaces". It's a 1997 production, directed by Eiichi Kudo ("13 
assassins") and is about a yakuza, who is released from prison after 14 years 
and now has to face modern gangster syndicates.

Has anybody already seen this film? It will screen at the Berlin film market 
(not the festival!) and is, quote: "suitable for video release". Er, are we 
talking mindless action trash here? Or is the director more known for epic 
masterpieces? 

Any info on this subject is most welcome.
