Brain Man (2013)

both are about an investigation/police trying to catch criminals. brain man has more suspense and violence but both male leads have a tragic past and are trying there best to get over it. also, the male leads start void of emotions and they meet a woman, in brain man its a psychiatrist but in final life its an old flame. memories are involved in both of them, they are a key part of the story.

Both male leads are incapable of feeling emotions and are taught to read emotions and act like a normal human being.

A less-than-human-becoming-human journey.

One of main characters in both movie and drama is a very similar dark (scary, but also kinda... cute?) psycho with some deep issues and history of psychological (mis)treatment. Both stories show us a lot of violence and you can't really figure out the psycho character till the very end.

Difference between these two is mostly that Bad Guys is a drama and not a movie (so not as short and has more story parts intertwined) and has other significant and complicated characters aside from the psycho.

very similar, but not so much that its the same story. they both include "villains" who want to bring justice to the world by taking out those who the law cannot touch or has not gotten to. leaves the audience to question who really is in the wrong, and leads them to sympathize with the "enemy" so to speak

yokokuhan is a little more tame than brain man is in regards to violence and blood and stuff. i would also say brain man is 10 times more suspenseful but thats just me. aside from this they are both very good! (and ikuta toma is in both, coincidentally) if you liked this i recommend brain man!

Both Japanese movies with a psychopath as the main character. Plots are different but with similar elements. If you liked the other you will be sure to like the other one too.

both main characters kill criminals but where both good and bad sides to killing the killers are explored

Action and psychological with super enhance humans. Of course, an epic battle scenes ensures.

Both movies have great action scenes, some psychological twists and brilliant actors and plot.
