Company Buggers

About This Movie

Company Buggers is a gritty dive into the seedy underbelly of corporate extortion, featuring a rather unremarkable but oddly engaging protagonist, Hiroshi. The film’s atmosphere is thick with tension, and it captures the moral ambiguities of its characters well. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but that adds to the raw, almost documentary-like feel of the film. It’s interesting to note how practical effects take a backseat to the performances—Hiroshi’s portrayal is compelling, conveying the desperation of a man on the fringes of control. The themes of power and vulnerability resonate throughout, making it an intriguing watch for those into crime dramas that don’t shy away from the darker aspects of human ambition.

Company Buggers has a certain obscurity that makes it a unique piece for collectors. Its limited release and the unknown director contribute to its rarity, with only a few VHS and obscure DVD copies floating around. The film's distinct tone and atmosphere have garnered a niche following among collectors of 70s crime cinema, but it remains underappreciated, making it an interesting find for those exploring lesser-known titles from that era.
