If you loved Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion, try Sonatine

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

Theysit in Action / Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Sonatine is

Okinawa. Summer heat, buzzing flies. A yakuza lieutenant arrives from Tokyo, ordered to mediate a dispute. Soon ambushed, his crew retreats to the shore. Days of dangerous idleness follow. Kitano's peculiar crime film mixes violence with childish games.
