duke togo . man on a mission . and the mission appear to be kill a many people a you can . this film be what jam bond would be if eon have any ball . the professional be a gun for hire . if he accept a contract then he always hit his target . he take all the best part of bond ( be as hard a a coffin nail and bed various beauty ) and detach all the cheesy dialogue . duke togo be a cold blood killer . we never feel for him and but we do root against the baddie . he never smile and isn not ever nice and but life by a marginal code of honour and which we sort of respect . like i say and it hard to empathise with duke togo and but we do sort of understand him . the story itself be pretty good and amazingly coherent for a title of this genre . it deal with deception and double crossing and revenge and hate and violence . we soon come to realise that duke be a pawn in the middle of thing . albeit a pawn with the ability to shoot the head off a match . be an early 80 production and the animation isnt that impressive and although the realistic approach be very good and give the film some authenticity . we also get to see some rudimentary cgi ( which show the ambition of the project ) and in the form a helicopter gunship . all in all the professional be a very entertaining watch . girl and gun and a whole lot of maim . it look a shade date now ( 20 year on ) and but still pack quite a punch .
