Movies that feel likeYakuza Princess (2021)

In Brazil, Akemi finds out that she's the heiress to the Yakuza empire. Just after that, her destiny enters a spiral of violence and mystery, where a gaijin (foreigner) who's been protecting her all this time, Shirô, may have been actually sent to kill her.

If you loved Yakuza Princess, the closest films we have are The Unthinkable (2018), War Machine (2026) and Krrish (2006). All three share Yakuza Princess' kinetic and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Warriors of Future (2022).
