Offbeat Cops

Hitoshi Abe simply has this aura around him that makes stories and characters revolve around him and not the other way around. Abe simply Carries the show in Offbeat Cops, delivering a stellar performance in a simple yet heartwarming script that never goes beyond the threshold unlike most Japanese movies. Ample character development, with enough going on that makes the movie feel rich. The crime, family and band stories intersects and weaves without ever interfering with one another. Towards the end however, how the crime story is resolved does feel a little rushed and simplistic, but I guess that's also not the most important aspect of the film. A simple yet enjoyable ride that one can thoroughly relax and enjoy.
