Japan, 1905. A bunch of crooked politician types are gloating about how they are going to run things now when a young anarchist breaks in and tries to murder their leader. He's quickly run off by the police\, though, and only escapes when a young woman provides him a hiding place (and incidentally steals a locket from him).
This young woman is named Ocho, and she is our actual protagonist. She is a professional gambler and former pickpocket who is also secretly the orphaned child of a murdered police detective. Her one goal in life is to punish the people responsible for her father's death, but her only lead is the tattoos the three people have: a deer, a boar, and a butterlfy.
No prizes for guessing that boss politician has one of these tattoos, of course.
Sex and Fury is unapologetically a 'boobs and blood' kind of film, and I guess if that's what you're looking for then it delivers. There's far too much sexual violence for my tastes, though, and if you want anything else - such as sub-plots that make any kind of sense or actually seem to relate to the main story - then you're definitely in the wrong part of town.
