You have a group of assassins that lead normal daily lives in a small town.. taking work as it comes, and otherwise, living in poor conditions. Then, they are threatened by another group of unknown assassins. They fight, movie ends.

Not gonna lie.. I was quite disappointed with my viewing and just wanted it to end after a while.

This feels like a somewhat aimless story with an underwritten script, or a side story to an existing show, where the character backgrounds actually matter. With a story that seems to lack a decent structure, exciting developments and a well planned groundwork to make any part of it compelling! With a lack of depth, music repeating noticeably, clashing tone of grim and silly.. There's little reason to recommend it, too.

Japanese cinema is celebrated for its refined minimalist dramas and avant-garde experimentation; it also introduced popular genres like jidaigeki (samurai epics), kaiju, and anime. Across both high art and mass entertainment, it often explores morality, impermanence, and the pressures of modern life.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

A group of seemingly ordinary merchants is really a band of assassins for hire. When they discover that all the assassins in Edo are being killed they must act quickly to find the culprit.
