AKA Koroshi no rakuin.
"Don't drink, don't touch women. Drink and women kill a killer."
Hanada (Jo Shishido) is a hit-man, who has to go on the run from his employer when his latest job goes wrong. Adding to this slight complication in his life is the presence of Misako (Anne Mari), a woman obsessed with death.
An entertaining yakuza film as seen through the lens of the Nouvelle Vague, part gangster flick, part arthouse weirdness. The film plays more as a surrealistic nightmare centred on sex and death; if you want a straight up action flick, you're in the wrong neighbourhood.
