If you loved Another Lonely Hitman, try Onibi: The Fire Within
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Rokurō Mochizuki, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Another Lonely Hitman, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Onibi: The Fire Within is
You're an ex-hitman, sprung from prison and hoping to stay out of trouble. But the new yakuza are soft, and your old talents are still sharp. When you fall for a pianist, her beauty sparks a fire. But the flame could burn everything to ash. Mochizuki's background informs the film's compressed violence, making space for a tender romance.
