GONIN (2000)

TAKASHI ISHII

Plot

A assembled cast of Japan's coolest actors in a hyperstylish tale of 5 desperate men from the robbery of a Yakuza gangster to the bloody revenge that follows. What, as with many Japanese films, raises the film's profile are the off-beat characters, from Beat Takeshi's one-eyed hitman to the gay hustlers and downtrodden ex-cops. An eccentric film noir atmosphere that will blow your socks off. Well crafted and intense.
