Sonny put words to the ill feeling I get when shows and movies let the anti-hero off the hook. Exception for settings completely in the underworld. Then it doesn’t matter if the protagonist gets a comeuppance since everyone is bad even the cops. A samurai movie needs a good (even if flawed) hero. Not so for a yakuza film.
