(98 min)
1967 - Drama, Gangster - Japan
Hanada (Number 3 Killer) lives his life day by day being a yakuza assassin. He and his wife live in their high-class, trendy apartment. One day, a mysterious woman by the name of Misako confronts him with a kill or be killed contract offer. Hanada pursues her and desperately wants to make love to her in his small bedroom, littered with dead butterflies pinned to the wall. Hanada takes her contract, but when the crucial moment comes up, (ironically) a butterfly messes everything up for him. An innocent victim has been killed and according to the yakuza way, he must pay for his mistake with his life. With a story filled with violent gun battles, back stabs, and deceit, Hanada ultimately confronts the ultimate killer, Number 1. In one of the most intimidating and intriguing stand offs ever, Seijun Suzuki's Branded to Kill is not easily forgotten.
