If you loved Doberman Cop, try Hokuriku Proxy War

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 Doberman Cop, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Hokuriku Proxy War is

You represent a yakuza family muscling into a new territory. Alliances form in the shadows, betrayals multiply. But the old guard refuses to yield. Fukasaku films this chapter with a documentary eye. The landscape reflects the moral chill.
