After the entire
incident with the Kimura family on Yamaguchi Island, Kuryu Kohei (Kimura
Takuya) returns to the Josai branch in Tokyo, and teams up with his former
colleagues and former paralegal Amamiya Maiko (Matsu Takako) who is not
forgiving Kohei for not keeping his promises to her.
When homicide case
lands on Kuryus desk after another prosecutor has personal business to take
care of, Kuryu is shocked when the accused pleads not guilty after having plead
guilty before. That being a common thing for prosecutors they decides to not
think too much of it, but soon they find out that there is so much more going
on behind the homicide. And for some reason the secretary of a former minister
is helping the accused…
Compared to the drama
and the special the movie has a bigger focus on actual court room situations,
which happens after indication of suspects. And to be honest it kind of gives a
better idea of how capacious a prosecutor’s work actually is. Also compared to
the other cases this one is kind of a bigger scale type of case, and involves
all the prosecutors, which yeah we do see in the drama and special, but here it
really goes all the way, and I like that the original cast is in it. Besides
that I would’ve liked them to make it a bit faster, it really goes on a slow pace.
Of course there are tense moments but there are way too many of those quiet and
dull moments they could have cut out or replaced.
But all in all a good
movie that you could watch with ease…
