A Colt Is My Passport is a down-and-dirty but gorgeously photographed yakuza film starring Joe Shishido as a hard-boiled hit man caught between rival gangs. Featuring an incredible, spaghetti-western-style soundtrack and brimming with formal experimentation, this is Nikkatsu at its finest.

Jo Shishido stars as a freelance hitman hired by a local gang to take down a rival gang boss sometime within the next twenty four hours. He agrees and pulls the job off with his customary efficiency but then everything goes to hell. The gang that hired him is angry about where he did the job and the rival gang - thirsty for revenge - trace the job back to him. The hunt is on and the hitman and his assistant are left largely to their own devices to free themselves from a perilous situation.

A Colt Is My Passport is a compelling blend of influences. Donâ€™t let the Japanese gangsters fool you: these crime families have more in common with the European mafia than with the yakuza. The visual style is obviously lifted straight from 1950s film noir with Shishido cast perfectly as the quiet and brooding anti hero. The cinematography is crisp black and white and flawlessly composed. The European influence shines through in staging and pacing, several key sequences - the initial hit being a prime example - playing out in near silence, Nomura telling his story purely with the visuals and letting his pacing and the rhythm of the editing build the tension. So far we have Japanese gangs fused with Hollywood noir and a touch of Euro arthouse,but Nomuraâ€™s not done there. The crowning acheivement, and the touch that really makes the film sing, is the inclusion of a heavy spaghetti western influence. The soundtrack could be vintage Morricone and when Shishido squares off with his rivals in an abandoned, sandy wasteland, the influence is unmistakable and glorious.

A Colt Is My Passport was apparently considered a fairly minor title by Nikkatsu at the time but it is a sharp, compelling film, one that has stood up to the test of time beautifully. Its fusion of styles and influences results in something truly unique, a treasure that can - and should - be recognized by fans of classic Hollywood, European arthouse and modern cult films alike.
