If you loved Cops vs. Thugs, try Doberman Cop

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 Kinji Fukasaku, and they sit in Action / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cops vs. Thugs, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Doberman Cop is

You're a cop transferred from Okinawa to Tokyo after a murder. You investigate, but the inquiry reveals a complex web of talent agency corruption. Fukasaku directs with a frenetic, punk energy. The film leaves one rattled by its depiction of institutional decay.
