The Bad Sleep Well (1960)


A vengeful man (Toshirô Mifune) seeks to bring down the corporation responsible for his father's death, from the inside.

It makes perfect sense that this film was remade for Japanese television in 2010. 50 years later the story is still relevant. The "bad" continue to "sleep well". I kind of wish this film was in English so that more people would see it. Perhaps a remake with George Clooney? Too similar to Michael Clayton? Ok, how about Matt Damon? I don't know, I'm just spit-balling here. But this could totally work, because at it's core, this is a revenge story. And who doesn't love a good revenge story? It doesn't matter if you're eating it with a fork or chopsticks, so long as it's served cold.
