The Negotiator
Samuel L. Jackson is a lieutenant negotiator, Chicago's best on the east side, who is charged with the murder of his partner. After taking hostages to prove his innocence, he calls on Chicago's best negotiator on the west side, played by Kevin Spacey.
The film is intense and tension is high. All actors give great performances.
The film's conspiracy theory plot is loosely based on the Pension Fund Scandal of the St. Louis Police Department in the late 80's, early 90's.
Thank you. I might actually check it out one day with some better understanding of what's going on.
Oh, yeah, I did kinda cringe. Idk why.

I first thought of Zpace Jocko and offer my apologies. Maybe classic anime just isn't my thing.
In my personal opinion, the English dubbing is awful, the body proportions and people growing into titans is laughable, Kenshiro doing his hyper punching and kicking was fine but the dadadadadadadada scream made me cringe, and it hurt to watch. However I did enjoy the ending scene and scene during the credits after a very strange turn of events in the final fight. And I found myself looking up what happened afterwards because I wanted to know Raoh's and Yuria's fates.
I do like the soundtrack, though. Very 80's but awesome.
The movie takes quite few liberties and it's higly condesanted due to running time. Raoh's and Yuria's fate are not open-ended in the source material.
As for the artstyle, it was meant to be inspired by actions movies of the era starring actors Silvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, hence why many of the character hace such... defined bodies.
Also, did the ATATATATATA battle scream really made you "cringe"? An unpopular opinion indeed (not saying this as an insult, you are actually the first person to said that). Was the battle scream left untoched or it was dubbed?
Overall, if you are still interested then try watching the 1984 anime or the original manga. If not then feel free to move on onto other things, I dunno.
