Viewing Notes

The movie is fun. Japan likes to call these comedies but it’s not like a Western comedy; this is drama with some mild humor. It turns into a thriller but doesn’t really earn it so I’m not tagging it as such. Perhaps the only real reason to view this ANA feature length commercial is the stacked cast of character actors. Some are nearly blink and you’ll miss them like Naota Takenaka in the end credits. Even Yoshiyuki Morishita gets a few seconds of screentime! Fun to see a lot a familiar faces. Wish the movie had been more fun.
