A straight‑laced tax officer, a master con artist, and a billionaire tax evader collide in Angry Squad: The Civil Servant and the Seven Swindlers, a sharp, high‑energy caper from director Shinichiro Ueda (One Cut of the Dead). Presented in Japanese with English subtitles and co‑presented by the Japan Foundation, the film delivers a fast‑paced blend of comedy, crime and clever deception.

When diligent tax office employee Jiro is duped by charismatic swindler Makoto Himuro, he vows to track him down. But instead of revenge, Jiro is offered an irresistible proposition: help Makoto con a billionaire Jiro has spent years trying—and failing—to prosecute for tax evasion. In return, Jiro can reclaim every yen he lost.

What follows is an audacious scheme that brings together a ragtag crew of misfits, each with their own peculiar talents. As the team attempts to outwit one of the richest men in Japan, loyalties shift, identities blur and the line between justice and criminality becomes deliciously unstable.

Adapting the hit Korean drama Squad 38, Ueda injects the story with his signature inventiveness, crafting a stylish, unpredictable and wildly entertaining heist film that keeps audiences guessing until the final reveal.
