    Clever, dry wit
    I found this film to be very enjoyable. The characters were well developed, and their interactions were interesting. Etsushi Toyokawa is very charming as Aikawa, the swindler. The humor is not so much "laugh out loud" funny as it is pleasantly amusing and engaging. It is kind of like "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" without the slapstick, done in Japanese. Unfortunately, it is difficult to track down a copy of this film with English subtitles in my region. But it is worth seeing if you can find it.
