Branded to Kill

Tokyo. Rain slicked streets. A stray cat's meow. Lowest-ranked contract killer Goro Hanada bungles a routine hit, earning the ire of the criminal underworld. Now he and his wife must outwit a mysterious, sharply-dressed assassin. Suzuki's absurd, hyper-kinetic noir plays like a fever dream.
