Afraid to Die (1960)
3/10
Avarage yakuza flick with disturbing content.
30 June 2018
Warning: Spoilers
SPOILER: This is really not a bad movie, if you enjoy the genre that is. Somewhat ordinary, but quite solid entertainment. Or would have been if not for a very disturbing rape preformed by the main actor, which leads to the rape wictim actually falls for him and they start a relationship. In which he keeps abuse her, among other things he tries to force her to do an abortion. If they portrayed this as him being an ashole abusing a woman who loves him, it would have been ok, but they dont. It is quite clearly angled as her being a weak woman who needs/deserve this.

This ruins the movie. I could not enjoy this it at all. But at least the bastard gets shot in the end.
