Where to Watch Violent Cop
- cultfilmlikerFebruary 18, 2026Japanese stoicism in the face of violence will never not be entertaining lol cops suck. And they suck at being cops. And humans! Kind of a drag (in content AND tempo) but it sure makes its point! Also the last half hour fully makes up for any “filler” Unflinchingly brutal in its violence. It gets down to business when it wants to! That accidental headshot was wild lol
