...turn, recruits yet another class of kids to hunt down the vigilantes on their island stronghold. Leader of the Wild Seven is Shuya Nanahara, played by fiery-eyed 21-year-old Tatsuya Fujiwara. In the first film, Nanahara is a somber schoolboy who survives more due to luck than killer instinct. In the sequel, he reappears as the almost impossibly intense and charismatic?though still somber?terrorist mastermind. Holed up in his ramshackle fort, torn between enlightened world-weariness and revolutionary zeal, he's a teenage mix of Osama bin Laden and Joseph Conrad's Kurtz. "They may call...

And the French are bewildered by events in Toulouse, where underworld figures have accused several local leaders of taking part in sadomasochistic orgies - and then ordering the execution of at least one witness who was preparing to expose them.

He subcontracts his work out to a stable of killers, dozens of younger men who prefer a handgun to M.R.'s more intimate way of death by close embrace. He drags on a cigarette, and explains that some of his boys will offer a prayer for their victim, while others try to erase the murders from their conscience with hashish or sex. "Nobody is a born killer," he says...
...boys working for me. I try to make sure they each get a 'job' at least once every two months." Then he stubs out his cigarette and slips out of the apartment, trailing two armed thugs for protection. Karachi isn't safe at night, not even for a killer with connections...
