- Synopsis:
- A breathtaking blend of violence, eroticism and dark humour, 'Branded to Kill' saw Suzuki's 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.

Uber Cool, Surrealist Gangster Flick... - Branded to Kill review by sw
Just wanted to implore anybody considering renting 'BRANDED TO KILL' to please do so because this is a film experience of rare quality. A stunningly stylish gangster flick that begins quite conventionally and slowly drifts into the surreal, this movie is peppered with great action sequences, absurdist humour and an effortless cool that boggles the mind.
I guarantee, you ain't seen anything quite like this before. In my opinion, a truly great film.
