Released in 1999, the film lightens its action thriller mood with comedic touches, inventive action choreography, & all that jazz.

While he is taking a break between sets, a murder occurs in the garage next to the club. Bar girl Linda (Michelle Reis), who witnessed the crime, flees from the scene & runs into Koji, pleading for help. With the killers right behind them, Koji hits the road with Linda, trumpet still in h&. Next thing they know, theyre not only running for their lives, theyre also wanted by the police who have them tagged as murder suspects! With such a fine mess on his hands, how is Koji going to get back to the club in time for his performance?
