![]() ![]() A mob-connected sociopath ( Yûya Yagira) is about to get out of jail and stir things up. That’s going to be tricky, as there are a lot of mob “problems” swirling around Director Ebihara ( Ken Yasuda). “No killing.” If he does, “I’ll kill you.” “Don’t you DARE get into trouble,” the boss who trained him warns. But as he is being put up by a mob ally, our hero will go as “a professional,” just not himself, the legend others call “The Fable.” They are to “blend in” as “ordinary” citizens, Boss instructs them (in Japanese with English subtitles). Our nameless mass murderer (“hundred of kills”) has just finished cleaning up “some trouble,” so his boss ( Kôichi Satô) sends him and his Tokyo driver-sidekick ( Fumino Kimura) off to Osaka to lay low. We are not that amused.īut the big set-pieces here are wowzers, good enough to merit a sequel (“The Fable: A Hitman Who Doesn’t Kill”), so let’s dive in. The long, somewhat sluggish comic thriller director Kan Eguchi gets out of this manga adaptation has scattered laughs and lots and lots of killing, much of that played as comedy, too. Call him “The Fable,” because this masked-murderer ( Jun’ichi Okada) might be just that, someone who doesn’t exist. We see graphics (a “Terminator” or Guy Ritchie’s “Sherlock Holmes” movies trick) of the targeted spot he wants to hit, the angle the bullet will travel and the many many variations of each shot he has to wade through in the blink of an eye. He’s unblinking, unflinching, and prone to doing everything around the house from computing to working out in the nude.Īnd as we’ve seen in the opening scene, a geisha restaurant slaughter, he’s a methodical hitman who does the calculus of a kill before he pulls the trigger. But he freaks out like a little boy if his food’s too hot. He’s tougher than tough, with the scars to show for it. Unless he’s replaying his favorite TV commercials starring the infantile comic “Jackal.” Those move him to hysterics. Here is everything we know so far about the next season of the Freeform original, including the release date, plot, and which actors from Season 1 will return for Season 2.He’s stoic, a humorless loner. With many twists and turns, the series (executive produced by Jessica Biel) is coming back with a whole new cast and storyline, filled with mystery, friendships, and betrayal. However, things begin to go south for Jeanette once her reputation is on the line for omitting information about Kate's kidnapping for her own benefit. During the time Kate is missing, Jeanette Turner ( Chiara Aurelia) goes from nerd to the new Queen B, quite literally taking over Kate's position on the social ladder. ![]() This sleeper hit quickly grasped viewers' attention when it came out on April 2021, focusing on Kate Wallis ( Olivia Holt), a popular high school student who is abducted and rescued months later.
