About Dead or Alive 2: Birds
Two contract killers cross paths in the middle of the same job and realize they are childhood friends. Together they take a break from killing and visit the small island they once called home. After reflecting on their past lives they decided to team up and use their talents in killing for good... much to the upset of the crime syndicates.
Directed by Takashi Miike, Dead or Alive 2: Birds leans on a strong ensemble — Show Aikawa, Riki Takeuchi, Noriko Aota — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2000.
