ActionAdventureDramaThriller89 min

Wandering assassin Ogami Itto and his young son Daigoro roll into another brutal assignment when Itto submits to yakuza torture to save a prostitute, then finds himself hired to kill a cruel chamberlain. Tomisaburo Wakayama’s Itto moves through an idyllic countryside littered with ambushes, swordsmen, and a fresh crime scene, the baby cart never far from his side. The film threads yakuza intrigue and duels through the father-and-son journey, with sprays of blood and sudden violence cutting across otherwise quiet roads.
