Snake Eyes’ act of mercy gains him a private jet flight to Tokyo and entry into the medieval-style fortress of the Arashikage clan (most of whom are suspicious of this stranger who has no past, no real name, and, though Asian, isn’t Japanese). The captive turns out to be Tommy Arashikage ( Andrew Koji), the heir apparent to leadership of a clan of protectors of Japan. When a spy is found in their midst, and Snake Eyes is ordered to kill him, he refuses, and instead releases the captive and joins him in fighting the rest of the Yakuza (there are a lot of 20-on-1 fights in this movie). A Yakuza boss hires him to hide guns in fish headed for Japan. Somehow, he’s become trained in martial arts, and supports himself on prize money from underground fight clubs.īut, hey, people like him. Years later, we meet him as a drifter, played by Henry Golding ( Crazy Rich Asians) and nicknamed Snake Eyes, after his dad’s fatal dice throw. An ambush by bad guys leaves dad dead (after a phony offer to keep him alive with the right roll of dice) and the son on the run. A young boy is living with his dad in the woods, in an apparent “safe house” that isn’t so safe.
