It's a film about a kid named Genji who wants to follow in his fathers footsteps and become a Yakuza boss. But his father doesn't think he's up to the task so sends him to a particularly violent high school mostly run by young gang members and tasks Genji with taking over the school and uniting the student gangs under one banner to prove his ability to lead. It's less a movie about crime and more about Genji learning the value of loyalty and what it takes to get it from others, but it has a lot of violence as he gains some of this loyalty by beating the holy poo poo out of 2/3rd's of the student body. The sequel Crows Zero II is pretty great also, and has Genji mobilizing the school against another rival school. The third film is mostly garbage though, as it basically rehashes the first movie but with a new cast and fails to capture anything that makes the first one great in the process. Crows Zero is awesome because of the sheer number of times a slouching, distinterested dude turns into a karate fighting machine. also, the final fight is settled through yelling.
