Straight to Heaven

About This Movie

Straight to Heaven is a gritty dive into the lives of two troubled youths, Koji and Tatsuya, navigating a murky world of crime and betrayal. Their get-rich-quick scheme involving bank transfer fraud spirals into chaos when a menacing figure from the criminal underworld targets them. The film carries a palpable tension throughout, with a raw, almost documentary-like style that adds to the authenticity of their desperation. The performances have an unrefined quality, which somehow enhances the emotional weight of the story.
