Violent Streets (1974)
"VIOLENT STREETS is a lean and mean yakuza exploitation picture that plays with a lot of genre tropes – e.g., rival groups, old ways versus young guns, etc. – all capped off by a deeply fatalistic streak. Gosha bookends the film with two key shots of barking, caged dogs. In this particular underworld, the players have room to be wild within their confines – snarling or even biting at those foolish enough to come close – but they’re never totally free. Whether imprisoned or not, the crime life is a trap.
