This movie is sure an amazing master piece. Compared to the past movies, this movie had depth. It's not as shallow as the other ones and interactions between Conan and Amuro had layers of meaning behind them. I am a loyal fan of Detective Conan. I watched and re-watched all 800+ episodes of Detective Conan plus its 21 movies but my favourite would be this one.
I would not recommend this movie to people who never or barely watched Detective Conan before. People would get confused over who is Amuro and his importance in the film. He was a member of the black organization, as said in the series, but he is actually a spy and number one man in Japan. Conan's relationship with him is indeed very different from anyone else in the series. It's different from Hitori or Shuichi, whom both are very talented men as well. Conan and Amuro both trust each other and even put their lives on the line for each other. However, their relationship can never be found out due to Amuro's multi identity. It was emotional for me at the end of the movie. Those two had arguments but when it came to Japan, they abandoned everything and risked their lives to save everyone. Amuro trusted Conan, and Conan also trusted him. The sad part was, the second they are finished, they had to part ways immediately. They didn't even congratulate themselves or let themselves have a rest. The last scene of Zero the Enforcer is Conan and Amuro walking in the opposite direction both with a bloody trail behind them.
This movie is not just about deduction, mystery, or love like the past movies. It showed us what Amuro, the man filled with secrets, was willing to abandon his life for. It showed us the true personality of Amuro and what he devoted himself into. He would even make Conan his enemy if he had to. Amuro is a real man.
Ok, I know I've said a lot, so let's get back to the movie. One big theme was the interaction between Conan, Amuro, and the national police bureau. Another one is the original thriller, mystery, and action Conan movies always provide us with. Of course like always, there's Conan's skateboarding skills, soccer skills, and deduction. This time, there's also Amuro's car drifting skills, parkour, and shooting skills. Both Conan and Amuro had been called scariest men ever met.
As a big ongoing anime series and movies, Conan is the first and only one I was able to continue chasing, watching, re-watching, and scrolling up my pages to refresh every single second when I know it's going to come out. The characters were developed very well. However, Ran, Haibara, Mori, the police, and all other characters were pretty left out and barely got mentioned here. They also cut the romantic part between Shinichi and Ran like what happened in every single past movie. They put the focus completely on Amuro and Conan.
You should watch it, but only after you understand Amuro.
