Anything with Bakarhythm as the writer is usually worth watching and Jigoku no Hanazono is no exception. Jigoku no Hanazono is basically Crows set in the world of OLs instead of high school aka a bunch of office ladies fighting in Odaiba to see who is the toughest.
It is in this world that the mysterious and strong Hirose Alice shows up and starts getting into fights slowly going up the food chain.
Nagano Mei is the normal OL who becomes friends with Hirose Alice and does not get involved in the fighting. They hang out together doing girly things but Hirose Alice always gets into fights.
This movie is very funny because it plays off all the cliches yankee fighting manga and has fun with it. I think the director did an admirable job with the action considering the limitation of the actors involved.
I had great fun with this movie and wish I could have watched this in a cinema in Japan. I think everyone did a pretty good job on this movie. Very watchable and available hardsubbed from dramahd. Guarantee you will have fun.

The moment I saw the screenshot with "Yankee" Hirose Alice was the moment I decided to watch it XD
Well, also your positive review helps. Thanks also for sharing where to get it (could not find it on avistaz)
Sorry for kinda out of topic. Speaking of recent J-Movies, just dropping by to recommend you Alps Stand no Hashi no Hou (On the Edge of Their Seats). Super low-key but it's quite a blast, and it's subbed too. Curious to see you opinion on it.
@Anonymous: I have not seen On the Edge of Their Seats, but will put it on the list! Thanks for the recommendation!
@Anon @Akiramike:
I can attest this is true. Best movie in 2020 hands down (sorry True Mothers and Asada Family). Too bad it's barely gained attention outside of Japan, perhaps due to unknown set of cast and director sadly.
