There are three kinds of swindlers in the world. White Swindlers (Shirosagi) prey on the innocent to steal their money. Red Swindlers (Akasagi) manipulate people's emotions to cheat their money. And then there is the Black Swindler (Kurosagi), the most powerful of them all, because he only cons other swindlers.
NEWS member Yamashita Tomohisa makes his silver screen leading man debut in the theatrical spin-off of his hit TV drama Kurosagi. Based on the manga by Natsuhara Takeshi, TBS crime suspense drama Kurosagi was aired to high ratings and audience buzz in 2006, once again confirming Yamashita's superstar status among the younger generation. Released in March 2008, the big screen adaptation sees Yamashita reprising his role as Kurosaki, a Robin Hood-like conman with a tragic past who is on a mission to rid the world of swindlers. This time he encounters his strongest rival yet, Ishigaki (Takenaka Naoto), the man whose elaborate fraud scheme once sent Japan into financial crisis.

Other than the addition of popular and prolific actor Takenaka Naoto (Nodame Cantabile, Catch a Wave), the drama's major cast members all return for the film. Popular actress Horikita Maki (Always - Sunset on Third Street) reprises as the law student torn between her faith in the legal system and her feelings for Kurosaki, while acclaimed actor Aikawa Sho (Dead or Alive) continues his pursuit as the police inspector forever chasing Kurosaki.
