Hanzo the Razor: The Snare
Directed by Yasuzō Masumura
Produced by Katsu Production, TOHO
A gritty samurai action drama set during economic collapse, centered on an incorruptible lawman's defiance of corrupt authority and the violent consequences that follow.
Against the backdrop of the Edo treasury devaluing currency and driving many into poverty, Hanzo Itami enforces the law without regard to status. He shows inadequate respect to the treasurer, who wants him dead.
