"Blood Splattered Tiger's Head Gate", Reivew on Brute Force

There are a lot of prison movies, even before this one. But I was surprised that the main creator of this film created "The City That Never Sleeps" a year later (a brief review of "The City That Never Sleeps").

While both films are about justice, "The City That Never Sleeps" is about law enforcement officers catching criminals, and "Blood on a Tiger's Head" is about punishing criminals. The former has obvious imprints of realism and tends to tell the system directly; the latter is permeated with expressionism, starting from the naming of people at the beginning of the film instead of the usual numbers, the only negative portrayal of prison guard Munsey, and room R17. The positive shaping of the characters, etc., all of which express strong doubts about the system.
