TOMATOMETER
4 stars out of 5 -- BRANDED TO KILL thrums along to an irresistible hard-bop beat, with effortlessly stylish black andwhite cinematography…
Total Film
Both iconoclastic and representative, it remains a key film of its decade, as well as a harbinger of future developments.
Sight and Sound
It might be the most self-knowingly rebellious of New Wave films...
Sight and Sound
BRANDED TO KILL repeatedly mocks the tropes it supposedly serves...delivering a seemingly tragic finale with the timing and verve of a Marx Brothers gag. -- Grade: A

Product Description:
A not-quite tongue-in-cheek send-up of Japanese censorship and pat, by-the-numbers "Yakuza" gangster films, this gonzo feature follows a lower-level underworld assassin as he's toyed with and tormented by a higher-up after botching a job. Suzuki's strategically placed animated sequences obscured "offending" material, thwarting censors and delighting fans of the director's black humor.
