        A One Timer And Nothing More
        Detective Story is about some eccentric cop who is investigating killings where the victims are having one of their organs removed. It is most certainly a cross between Color Me Blood Red and Silence Of The Lambs without question. It has some good ideas and story is coherent but it is one of Takashi Miike's lesser efforts. It has no butt loving. Actually that's not a bad thing. Anyways, the pacing is slow, the violence is bloody and gory, they story is alright, I guess, and the tall ass chick has a flat ass. I hate this review. Good bye.
