Melancholic director Seiji Tanaka is back as Netflix pitches more Japanese action stylings with Demon City. Tanaka directed the film based on his adaptation of Masamichi Kawabe’s “Oni Goroshi,” published by Nihon Bungeisha beginning in 2020.
Just as hitman Shuhei Sakata is about to clean up his act for his family, the mysterious organization Kimen-gumi murders his wife and daughter, pinning the blame on him and sullying his name. Shot in the head, he miraculously survives but falls into a coma. Twelve years later, the Kimen-gumi attacks him again, but his dormant killer instinct awakens, setting him on an epic course of revenge. However, what awaits him is a truth that threatens to completely alter his destiny.
Also starring are Masahiro Higashide, Mio Tanaka, Ami Touma, Taro Suruga, Mai Kiryu, Naoto Takenaka, Takuma Otoo, Masanobu Takashima, and Matsuya Onoe. Peep the trailer and set the watch date for February 27!
