If you loved Sun Scarred, try The Negotiator
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 The Negotiator is
Tokyo hospital ward. Winter light. A single cough. Three masked figures seize hostages after a botched store heist.
