This hard-hitting action thriller immediately gets you in the mood and you will also know from the start that the investment in your movie ticket is not pearls before swine because they get other food.
Brace yourself for the film adaptation of the book “Korou no Chi” by Yuko Yuzuki from 2015 in which the young, of course still green-behind-the-ears, detective Shuichi Hioka, together with the very experienced veteran in the field, detective Shogo Ogami (an irresistible Yakusho Koji in a brilliant role) has to investigate a disappearance case in “the environment”.
This 2018 film by director Kazuya Shiraishi lets an absolute top cast shine in a dark world. This is top-notch entertainment, an ideal film to end a working week on Friday evening and switch the switch to the weekend.
