If you loved The Sting of Death, try Muddy River
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

What Muddy River is
A slum kid and a runaway forge an alliance beneath the piers of an Osaka riverfront. Their bond thrives on stolen food, shared guilt and small acts of mercy. The 1981 black-and-white glow lingers like the river’s mud.
