Hydra

[Available July 20 on Blu-ray™, DVD, and various VOD platforms.] Kensuke Sonomura's compelling, convoluted, confusing, twist-filled, well-choreographed, evenly paced, violent, incomplete, 77-minute, 2019 thriller with an abrupt ending in which a former, secretive, highly skilled, reserved Japanese assassin (Masanori Mimoto) takes an unassuming job as a chef at a small sushi bar in Tokyo in order to protect the free-spirited bartender daughter (Miu) of a former criminal associate (Y?ji Tanaka) with whom the waiter (Tasuku Nagase) is smitten and then finds himself reluctantly drawn again into his old world as a vigilante hitman for a clandestine group to rid Tokyo of seedy underworld criminals and target of unsavory types {Tomorowo Taguchi, Naohiro Kawamoto, et al.)
