Made for crime fans, anyone who likes to be kept guessing and action fans. If you loved Batman Begins or Kill Bill: Vol. 1, start here.
The mood
Tense, gritty.
The pace
Fast-moving, at 1 hr 29 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1973: an older pace and style.

Ogami Itto is challenged by a quintet of warriors, each armed with one fifth of Ogami's assassin fee and one fifth of the information he needs to complete his assignment.
