If you loved Mermaid Legend, try XX: Beautiful Beast

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 Toshiharu Ikeda, and they sit in Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mermaid Legend, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What XX: Beautiful Beast is

Tokyo. Cherry blossom season. Gunshots. Ran arrives, a specter of vengeance. Soon a criminal empire teeters as she stalks her prey, leaving chaos and spilled blood in her wake. Grindhouse thrills, served ice-cold.
