SABU
Drive
Nippon Cinema ª
For Asakura, an uptight, hyper-square salesman, strict correctness is a maxim that is not to be broken. One day, three bank robbers are rushing into his car urging him to pursuit their fellow robber. But Asakura never drives over 40km/h speed limit, and so an incredible day starts for all of them.
