Takashi Miike’s ICHI THE KILLER (???? Koroshiya Ichi, 2001) has endured as one of the most influential pieces of genre filmmaking of the last two decades, and now it returns in a stunning all-new digitally restored special edition debuting on Blu-ray March 20 from Well Go USA Entertainment. Based on Hideo Yamamoto’s manga series of the same name, the controversial and graphic tale of feuding yakuza gangs is seen primarily through the actions of a scarred and psychologically damaged man, who is manipulated into killing rival faction members.

ICHI THE KILLER has a runtime of approximately 130 minutes and is not rated.
