If you loved Sword for Hire, try Chûshingura
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 Hiroshi Inagaki, and they both carry the foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sword for Hire, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Chûshingura is
You serve a lord in feudal Japan and then betrayal sparks a quest for honor. The director sets a historical tone.
