Contract Killer

• Action
• Comedy
• Thriller

A darkly comedic action-thriller, *Contract Killer* distinguishes itself not through polished assassinations, but through the chaotic apprenticeship of a reluctant hitman navigating a hilariously brutal competition. Thrust into a world of yakuza and professional killers due to desperate financial straits, the film delivers a distinctive blend of slapstick violence and underdog charm. Rather than focusing on the glamour of the hitman life, it centers on the awkwardness and ineptitude of a newcomer struggling to survive, finding an unsettling camaraderie amongst rivals forced to play by absurd rules. The escalating stakes aren’t about grand conspiracies, but about increasingly outlandish methods and desperate attempts to prove competence, ultimately becoming a darkly funny commentary on the absurdity of professional assassination.
