Times may change, but teen rebellion never goes out of style. Now that the dust has settled from this year’s double whammy of “Tokyo Revengers” movies, here’s a more irreverent tale of delinquents beating the bejesus out of each other.
Toichiro Ruto’s “G-Men” takes place at a boys’ high school that was once a haven for teenage hoodlums. However, it’s become a lot more clean-cut since a crop of new girls’ schools were built in the surrounding area.
That’s what draws transfer student Shota (Yuta Kishi), who has heard that enrolling at Takehana High will give him a “120% chance” of finding a girlfriend. He’s aghast to land in Class G, the school’s dumping ground for thugs, geeks and no-hopers. Their classroom is tucked away in a derelict annex, and they’re forced to wear a different uniform that serves as a red flag to any potential romantic partners.
