Branded to Kill

A breathtaking blend of violence, eroticism and dark humour, 'Branded to Kill' saw director Seijun Suzuki's ('Tokyo Drifter') reinvention of the gangster film taken to a new level that borders on the surreal. Hanada is the underworld's 'Number 3' assassin. When his car breaks down he is picked up by the beautiful and mysterious Misako who before long has hired his services. The hit goes wrong - a mistake that cannot go unpunished in Hanada's world. He is soon drawn into a deadly game of cat and mouse with the legendary and anonymous 'Number 1'. Strange, sexy and utterly compelling, prepare to be blown away.
