Hope everyone who celebrates it enjoyed their Thanksgiving! This month saw me finally hit the 150 game review milestone. On top of that, I finally began formally reviewing films. Thanks to everyone who has stuck with me this long!
Seijun Suzuki
Branded to Kill (Seijun Suzuki, 1967)
Goro Hanada is the third-ranked hitman of the Japanese underworld. He has flown into Tokyo with his wife, Mami. There, they meet Kasuga, a formerly ranked hitman who now makes his living as a taxi driver. Kasuga asks Hanada to assist him to break back into the profession. Hanada agrees, and the three of them go to a club owned by yakuza boss Michihiko Yabuhara. The two men are tasked with escorting a client from Sagami Beach to Nagano. Little do they know that they’re about to drive into an ambush.
