Hired killer For a frivolous action movie, you do not need anything more spectacular heroes, exciting and unburdened by the logic of the plot with actors more or less suitable for such films, whose entire ability to play is reduced to the ability to look good. And for a frivolous Japanese action movie, you can do a little less. After all, most often in such films (and in "The Hired Killer"), young, and therefore mostly inexperienced actors play, from whom all that is required is not to remove a serious grimace from the face and, as described above, look good.
Suffice it to recall "Wild Seven", as it becomes clear that the Japanese, who succeeded in a few other genres, in action-packed, fast-moving action films still have not reached the proper level of quality, as for example, their colleagues in the film shop from neighboring countries: South Korea and China. And if you continue the comparison with the same seven, it becomes clear that even such a mediocre film looks like a good, fascinating action movie against the background of the hitman. What can not be said about the creation of Go Ohara, who has this film the third in his filmography, and if you look at the two previous ones, then the question of lack of experience in serious action films will disappear.
