Izo

2004 · 128 min Action Drama Fantasy
6.1 / 10 · TMDB

An empty glass on the windowsill. A letter without a signature. These are the only clues left for a man who has forgotten everything, including his own name. In the 2004 action-fantasy drama *Izo*, a resurrected 19th-century assassin is violently cast into modern Tokyo. Cursed with immortality and driven by a bottomless rage, he carves a bloody path through time itself, confronting samurai, soldiers, and spirits in an endless war against existence. This is not a quest for redemption, but a primal scream against life, death, and the gods who created them.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director crafts a grim world where history and fantasy collide in a violent dance. The visual style emphasizes the protagonist's despair and aimless journey.

It's for viewers seeking an unconventional genre experience. One will be left contemplating violence and the search for meaning. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Takashi Miike
