Saigo made Iku plot

On the night of December 29, police detective Yuji Kudo drives his car to his mother, who is in the hospital with a serious health condition. During the car ride, Yuji receives a call from his boss asking about his involvement in the creation of a conduit fund. Shortly afterwards he also hears that his mother has already died. Yuji then accidentally hits a man with his car and that man dies. At the hospital, Yuji tries to cover up the death of the man he hit by placing his corpse in his mother's coffin. He thinks he can get away with it, but then he receives a message on the phone from someone who has seen everything.

Overall, I thought the plot was reasonable, with a police officer becoming entangled in a mafia web of corruption, although he does not realize this at first. The same policeman comes across as rather schmucky, which brings the film down rather than gaining bonus points. It didn't really fit with the genre of film. This is a crime film and to be convincing you need tension and toughness. The latter is somewhat lacking.

The first part of the film is nice concerns the discharge of the corpse, in combination with the death of his mother. As so often happens, things get a bit out of hand later on. The characters as a whole are also not sufficiently charismatic to really make things swing. The bad guy seems more like a nerd to me and the rest of the police force is completely incompetent.

All in all, a decent snack, and I certainly wasn't bored. But it is certainly not of great quality.

Funny movie.

Never saw the Korean original, but did see the Taiwanese remake. That was fun, this one just a little bit better. Thanks to Okada, who plays the perfect role. A somewhat dimwitted police officer who is having a hard time, partly due to the series of stupid decisions he makes. The rest of the cast is also on par.

Furthermore visually also cared for, a second part that slowly derails and a soundtrack that does its job, although Fujii managed to make more of an impression with that in earlier films. Exceptional cinema this is not, but very strong genre work in which the separate parts often bring just a little more than required.

4.0* and an extensive review
