Ichi the Killer

Love really hurts.

Ichi, a meek and traumatized assassin, is manipulated by a sadistic yakuza into committing acts of extreme violence. As psychological delusion bleeds into reality, the film traces the unraveling of a broken man whose murderous impulses erupt in visceral, hallucinatory massacres. Takashi Miike crafts an unfiltered descent into madness that interrogates guilt, domination, and the fragility of the fractured psyche.
