Overwiew :A noir film about a taciturn, "old-school" hitman, who returns to his underworld--having spent 10 years in jail for the accidental wounding the daughter of a rival gang leader whom he assasinated--and discovers, to his dismay, that things have changed for the worst; Tachibana's former crimeworld, which had some form of honor code, is now a barely recognizable scene, one in which drugs, porn and real estate is dominant.
