The official website for Katsuhito Ishii’s Smuggler has been updated with a 30-second teaser.

The film stars Satoshi Tsumabuki as a failed actor named Ryosuke who takes a part-time job at a pachinko parlor. After racking up a huge debt, he’s forced to take a smuggling job from a yakuza company chief (Yasuko Matsuyuki) who offers him 50,000 yen per successful delivery.

Unfortunately for Ryosuke, the reason for this big payout is that his new job actually entails disposing of corpses in the middle an escalating gang war, and making even the slightest mistake could prove deadly.

Warner Bros. will be releasing “Smuggler” in Japan on October 22, 2011.

Thanks to logboy for the heads up.
