Very Heavy Talk but Good!
18 November 2012 | by See all my reviews

This movie provides a deep look into a legal system (not sure if it is unique to Japan actually).

What made this movie worked really well is that I believe it is honest in splashing out as much as it can on how much injustice and unfavourable circumstances can happen in a legal proceeding, and the outcome can continue to be unfavourable for a very long period of time. Acting performances are commendable, though I hope that the main character should have been more serious rather than portraying himself as panicky all the time. But anyway, some scenes were really an eye-opener and all in it is a splendid work!
