complex tale of a serial murderer, 27 October 1998
8/10
Author: zoniedon from California

A true story told in flashbacks of a Japanese serial killer. This film requires your attention because of the flashbacks and the ever changing locations. The killer, played creepily by Ken Ogata, is also a con artist. He seduces women and has no conscience. A subplot involves the more than friendship between the wife he leaves behind and his father. An untraditional violent, sexy and vastly entertaining film for the serious filmgoer.
