Sonatine (1993)
A weary, philosophical yakuza enforcer is sent by his boss to mediate a brewing gang war in Okinawa, a task he suspects is a setup. When violence erupts, he and his men retreat to a secluded beach house to wait. This forced hiatus in the sun becomes a strange, peaceful interlude where the gangsters engage in childish games, allowing the protagonist to reflect on the nature of his violent life before the inevitable bloodshed resumes.
