Synopsis

Professional hitman Long takes on an assignment in Japan. When things go awry, he has to flee. Badly injured, he takes refuge in a small town. A young boy brings him water and clothing. Long installs himself in one of the dilapidated houses where he prepares simple meals for the eight-year-old Jun.

Our take

Better known for his early cyberpunk thrillers, the style of director Sabu has, in recent years, relaxed—especially apparent in this sensitive (yet still hyperviolent!) character study, following an assassin (Chen Chang) whose old self resurfaces as he grows into a father figure to a young child.
