Key Largo (1948)
Ex-Major Frank McCloud (Humphrey Bogart) visits a Key Largo hotel run by James
Temple (Lionel Barrymore), the father of McCloud's World War II buddy, and his
daughter-in-law Nora (Lauren Bacall), the friend's widow, to pay his respects.
McCloud finds out that the visitors who are staying at the hotel, supposedly on
a fishing trip, are actually notorious fugitive gangster Johnny Rocco (Edward
G. Robinson) and his gang. The gangsters have crossed by boat from Cuba, where
Rocco is living in exile, to make a "delivery". Once Rocco's identity is revealed
by McCloud, the mobsters drop the pretense and take over the hotel, keeping McCloud,
Temple and Nora at bay with the threat of violence; meanwhile, a hurricane is
brewing up, heading in the direction of the Key.

An Adolescent
Shôjo
Tomokawa is a tough guy turned bored cop who spends much of his time sating
lonely housewives and looking after retarded teen Sukemasa. One day while
hanging out at a bar, he is approached by a 15-year-old enjo kosai named Yoko,
offering a round of illicit sex in exchange for cash. Though he demurs, their
paths cross again and soon a relationship of sorts forms. Yoko, it turns out,
is Sukemasa's sister; and both are the children of his old flame Yukie, a
grasping, self-centered woman. Moreover, Yoko's grandfather is responsible
for the massive tattoo sprawling across Tomokawa's back. Tomokawa soon takes
both teens under his wing, protecting them from their heartless mother, and
their lecherous stepfather. Soon, Yoko gets a similarly massive tattoo
illustrating her bond with her policeman savior.

G.P.506 (2008 Korea)
An army investigator is put in charge of a soldier unit to find out what
happened at G.P. 506 (and to possibly cover it up), which saw the original
team brutally massacred by one of its own (well that's what it seems?)
and what this second team uncovers is something terrifyingly devastating.
It's an unusual, but immensely unpredictable military horror/mystery
story covering its bases in an interestingly progressive non-linear narrative.
