A Certain Killer - 1967 - 6/10
AKA - Aru Koroshi Ya // ある殺し屋
Shiozawa, restaurant owner and short order cook, is actually a lethal hitman.
From time to time, yakuza gangs hire his services. Expensive, but guaranteed.
A young prostitute attaches herself to him, then later a protégé.
Between methodical “jobs” there grows the triangle.
Money. One who has, two who covet.
Fans of how-to assassinate films such as The Day Of The Jackal or The Mechanic (1966) will enjoy.
Mega-star Ichikawa Raizo coldly effective here, as he is in the sequel, A Killer’s Key.
