No More Comics! (1986)

A powerhouse reenactment of a 1985 ethics scandal that rocked the Japanese journalistic world. Rockstar Yuya Uchida plays a TV entertainment reporter who is egged on by his bosses to "pump up" his telecasts. He gets his opportunity when a prominent investment manager, caught in the middle of a fraudulent gold investment scheme, locks himself in his lavish home. While Uchida and the other reporters try to gain entrance, two disreputable-looking gentlemen, announcing that they've been paid to assassinate the crooked investor, walk into the home unmolested–then walk out a few moments later, soaked in blood. No one lifts a finger to stop the two hit men from leaving….and it sure makes a swell TV story. Astonishingly, many of the characters in Comic Magazine–reporters, investors, even a pair of Yakuza mobsters-are the genuine article. Voyeuristic to the nth degree, Comic Magazine was highly praised when it was first released in Japan.

At last with english subtitles!
