What they share

Theysit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cargo 200, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Shinjuku Incident is

Tokyo. Rain-slicked streets. A dropped glove. Steelworker "Steelhead" arrives seeking his girlfriend, only to find himself embroiled in a brewing war between rival Yakuza gangs. Survival demands he rise in the ranks. A pulpy John Woo riff by way of 1970s grindhouse.
