Plot
Based on Hideo Yamamoto's ultra-violent hit manga comic of the same name, Takashi Miike's extraordinary Ichi The Killer remains true to its source material every bloody step of the way. When yakuza boss Anjo disappears without warning, along with a prostitute and one hundred million yen, loyal but psychotic, sadomasochistic hitman Kakihara takes it upon himself to lead the search, employing various methods of torture, mutilation and murder as a means to an end. Along the way, he meets sexy club hostess Karen and through her learns of the near-mythic Ichi, an armour clad, razor-booted assassin with incredible martial arts skills and serious emotional and psychological problems. Could Ichi be the one behind the disappearance of Kakihara's boss? Ichi The Killer is one of the most graphically violent films ever to see the light of day, featuring countless scenes of explicit carnage and sadomasochistic torture laced with a deep vein of the blackest humour.
