Tôkyô nagaremono: An aesthetic and great ending
17 June 2003
I don't know if there are a Japanese movie-tradition with great endings, but "Tôkyô nagaremono" is one of several Japanese movies with a lavished and thoroughly ending, not in the way that it strange, bizarre or turn the story upside down, just the fact that it creates the strong emotion as a movie should do when it ends - like movies such as "Nikita", "The Terminator" and "12 Angry Men". The end doesn't work as a summary, but like a striking touch that a movie needs. "Tôkyô nagaremono" has also at times very well-directed and exciting action scenes. Enjoyable.
