Saigo made Iku

I couldn't ask for more - this is laugh out loud action comedy with a great storyline, characters and twists. The Japanese language adds an extra flavour of enjoyment that just makes this movie so entertaining. I didn't think I'd enjoy it this much.

Definitely has a rewatch factor. It's been a while since I've laughed so hard.

We have Juinichi Okada in yet another thriller. Hard Days is a very thrilling power packed movie which keeps you on the edge of your seat for the whole remainder of the movie. The movie has our protagonist playing as a detective. He's involved with Yakuza and there's the corrupt higher up police inspector. Along with these three, there are some side characters who stir up quite some thrill in the story which make keep you baffling till the end of the movie. The end is quite an interesting one which keep you guessing on what really happens as its not a direct end. The acting by the whole cast is quite to the point. There's hardly any characters that overdoes it. For someone who wants to watch a thriller with little comedy bits in between and the classic cop-yakuza-corrupt inspector drama, this one's for ya guys!

The movie is decent up until the last 30 minutes, but then it all falls apart with several unrealistic developments, and an unsatisfying non-ending. It also lacks the subtle comedy of the Korean original from 2014. There was a Chinese remake in 2017 as well. I watched the original Korean movie and the Chinese remake back to back a few years ago, and now I've seen this Japanese remake as well. Honestly...I really hope this is the last remake, because in the end, the Korean original still remains superior in pretty much every way. So my advice is still to just go and watch that. It has a much better ending as well.
