Mr. Long (Japan, 2017)

A Taiwanese hit-man goes Japan to kill a man. But nothing turns out in the way he expected. He finds himself in a dumpster and with neighbors' helps he gets his own stall where he cooks delicious noodles. But his past won't leave him alone.

Mr. Long explores the world around an assassin who failed a mission and must stay out of harms way.  There's a couple of bloody fights and scenes where the titular Mr. Long shows off his skills, but the story is much more focused on where he wants to steer his life and connecting with people in a way he previously never did. In these days where every film with an assassin is all about all-out action it's nice to see more of a character piece and a story about a killer who experiences a serious change of priorities. The kill list is gone, time to cook delicious meals. 


Genre: Crime/Drama
