Genre icon Jô Shishido stars in this tense and vioIent yakuza yarn from genre stalwart and Seijun Suzuki s former assistant, Yasuharu Hasebe (Female Prisoner Scorpion: #701 s Grudge Song).
Shishido stars as Kuroda, a mob hitman who turns on his employers after being forced to execute his lover. Joining forces with his similarly wronged brothers, hot-headed Eiji (Tatsuya Fuji, ln the Realm of the Senses) and aspiring boxer Saburô (Jirô Okazaki, Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter), the trio escaIate their mob retaliation to alI-out turf war where no one will stop untiI one faction emerges victorious.
Strikingly vioIent for the period and gorgeously photographed in monochrome like genre sibIings Branded to KiII and A Colt is My Passport (Shishido s other fiIms from 1967), Massacre Gun is a boId iteration on the genre featuring some stunning compositions and the assured direction of Hasebe. |
