Hunter in the Dark

You're a one-eyed killer for hire, sharp with a blade and silent with your past, and then a yakuza boss hands you a suit instead of a contract. You walk his warpath as his shield, but the knives come from corners he never warned you about. The camera lingers on rain-slicked alleys and the weight of a sword you can't always draw.
