It goes without saying it's an amazing movie it has a certain charm that is so intriguing and fun but keeps a serious tone. It has everything you will need in the story the action the violence and the characters are all developed well. It was extremely long but has a good payoff with who I was rooting for in the movie.
I'm a big fan of the dirty cop trope and this has to be one of my favorite executions of it. A phenomenonal performance from Koji Yakusho as always.
