Like a Savage is an intriguing thriller that dives into the murky waters of wrongful accusations and the yakuza underworld. The pacing is tense, with a slow burn that builds to moments of real dread. Tamako's journey is fraught with desperation, showcasing her evolution from a writer to a survivalist. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively, lending a gritty realism to the action. The performances, especially the lead, are compelling, adding depth to the characters caught in this dangerous web. There's an atmospheric quality that lingers long after viewing, making it a curious piece in the puzzle of 80s thrillers. It’s less about flashy moments and more about the creeping tension throughout. Definitely something to explore if you're into the darker side of the genre.
