If you loved Rainy Dog, try Deadly Outlaw: Rekka
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 Takashi Miike, and they both carry the dread, foreign gem mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Rainy Dog, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Deadly Outlaw: Rekka is
Mount Fuji at dusk, a chrome pistol dropped in snow. A young enforcer kneels beside his mentor’s ruined face. Their trail of spilled whiskey and shell casings ends where a scarred father figure waits with a cleaver. Miike’s 2002 acid western where honor bleeds into neon and every bullet sings the blues.
