Le tueur numéro 3 devient la cible de ses commanditaires après avoir raté un contrat. Alors qu’il se défait sans mal des hordes d’assassins envoyés à sa suite, il trouve le réconfort auprès de ses maitresses. Mais le défi ultime s’annonce quand le mystérieux tueur numéro 1, dont personne de vivant n’a jamais vu le visage, se met également à ses trousses. (Splendor Films)

Critiques (1)
The first 20 minutes, with the errant behaviour of one of the protagonists and the confused editing, were almost unbearable. Then, thankfully, it turned into a nicely atmospheric, cinematically imaginative spectacle, but again with confusing editing. You sit with it out of curiosity, trying to understand what Refn and Tarantino see in it and why Criterion took it under their wing, but it just didn't draw me into the plot, I just don't give a damn about these rambling Godard-esque films. Tokyo Drifter, which I liked a bit more, has the same visual charm, similarly inventive use of music, but the plot is just as rudimentary and the continuity of the scenes completely disjointed. Probably Suzuki is not my cup of tea.
