Hanzo the Razor: The Snare

In "Hanzo the Razor: The Snare," Hanzo Itami (Shintarō Katsu) upends traditional authority in feudal Japan as he enforces the law with a disregard for social hierarchy, earning him deadly intentions from those who wield power. As currency devalues and poverty spreads, Itami's unorthodox methods bring him into direct conflict with those he is meant to protect. The film offers a glimpse into the tumultuous Edo period through its portrayal of Itami's unyielding dedication to justice.
