TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Martin Muchell Most of us have probably seen enough serial killer movies by now and the various possible plot permutations in the genre have more or less been tested to destruction. Nevertheless, the non-linear storytelling in this film and its refusal to pander to the average intelligence level of a cinema audience makes for intriguing viewing on this occasion. Plus, it explores the psychological impact of having a loved one murdered in more depth and more convincingly than any other movie I can recall. The source material is a novel by the excellent Japanese crime writer Miyuki Miyabe (who in turn seems to have drawn on the famous Leopold and Loeb case for inspiration) and although the film is a vehicle for aging boy band singer Masahiro Nakai he copes well in a major role. The other performances are also impressive and I am surprised that this movie is not more widely known.

juhovh Well, I don't know much else to say about this movie. I lost track of the story a couple of times but it all came clear in the end. It is a story of two guys who decide to commit a perfect murder, (sounds familiar) and also a story of cops and relatives trying to find out who the real murderer was. I personally would've liked to see something more original, now it is just one movie among others.
