The police are tracking a man who shoots at people. But the young sister of a detective finds that he's not the mad vigilante portrayed in newspapers.
Reviews
Good movie but grossly overrated
Don't listen to the negative reviews
Absolutely Fantastic
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Maybe the actors are not very well known and the plot is kinda strange but the story is really funny and entertaining is ideal in order to have a good time. It's a movie that combines comedy, action and a kind of strange romance.
This movie was something that struck me almost as powerful as F***ing Åmål (Show me Love), which I saw the week before. It's a really sweet lovestory, with the one of the best endings I've ever seen, it has to be seen, it's unexplainable. The "shooting-guy" is just too cool, he designs videogames and has thousands of 12"-clubrecords. The girl is too pretty, it's almost annoying. The music in the film is so fat and so suggestive and most important, so F***ING swell and trendy and perfect it's unbelievable. And, of course, you can't buy it with english text anywhere on the net. Some b**ody sod stole my videotape with it. In a bl***in hospital!!!Anyway, if you ever get a chance to see this movie, do so. It's strange, but if you're normally intelligent, that wouldn't be too much of a problem.
I've seen this movie four days ago and it still bothers me. This movie does not only give you an outline of what it must be to live in Tokio in the 90ties(as well as in any other big city), but transmits the atmosphere 100%! The actors do not talk much and still everything is said. The music is absolutely well chosen. I went out of the cinema with a feeling I never had before after watching a movie. It's like being understood for the first time. You must see this film! And if you like Takeshi, watch Takeshi's castle. If your neighbors complain about you laughing, invite them and they will understand.
The man shoots people but never kills them. This is not a thriller, it's a Tokyo life slices showing... with French eyes. It's amazing, sensual and incredibly modern.
