Storyline
Medical student Himoto Haruo makes no compromises in resolving issues with his mother, his authoritarian department boss, and his girlfriend's abusive employer.
I don't know. Meh directing, barely decent acting, plenty of stupid dialogs, some hastily done scenes that immediately get to the point without any building up whatsoever, some situations that you can see coming from a mile away.
So, many aspects of this movie disappointed me, but it still has some kind of strange charm and a nice atmosphere. Good cinematography, too.
Too bad that's not enough to call this a memorable movie. In the end I'd say a 64% , I've kinda enjoyed watching it but I think there are hundreds of Japanese movies that deserve your precious time way more than this one.
