Carlos Filho Aug 12 2023 8:42 pm Awesome movie. Excellent jokes, different from the others. Great characters and actions.
Humane_Post Nov 06 2022 4:24 am Honestly, I stumble across this movie by coincidance. I do read few chapters of the manga before, but didn't realize it have a movie adaptation. I'll say, U Guys Must Watch This Movie. doesn't mater if u have or haven't read the manga.
This is overall a great movie, and fun to watch.
The story, the character, the acting is good. But the one I most surprised is the beautifully shoot scene and the action/ fighting choreography is top. A must watch for those who look for action with well written story
Ucchi Dec 08 2021 1:50 am @Glen the song's title is 'a song for a killer' and it's actually on Spotify.
Glen Nov 21 2021 5:03 am I watched this in Netflix and I absolutely loved it. The thing is, I was hooked in the song when Akira Sato (Fable) gave the drawing to Misaki and she was so touched, she started to cry. Then the scene shifted to Ebihara and Kojima in the garage (don't wanna spoil anything). It's toward the end. I can't seem to find it in credits and even typing the lyrics doesn't help. I WOULD BE GLAD AND GREATLY APPRECIATE if anyone can tell me the title of the song. It keeps running in my head.
Kyoko fukada Nov 20 2021 10:59 am It's quirky and funny with loads of action to boot. Must watch!
Sebastian Mar 09 2020 8:22 pm Fumino and Mizuki are both super slender hotties in this film. I think Fumino's legs win and Mizuki's hair wins. HOT
Murayoshi Dec 21 2018 8:07 pm What a cast!!! Looking forward to this!!!
