Reviews:

Good movie with a lot of twists so concentration is required
My wife being from Reno the movie title caught my eye. I had absolutely no clue what it was going to be about. I didn’t read any reviews before watching it, just saw it was a mystery/crime and that’s the kind of movies I like so I gave it a shot. I didn’t regret it. It’s a good movie but you for sure have to stay alert every second because you might miss something because of the many twists. I might even have to watch it a second time to get more answers. The mix of Japanese and English worked very well. To me the two stars of the movie are Ayako Fujitani and Pepe Serna. Very good performances both of them. Surely worth a watch or even two to get everything.

Transcending culture and emotions to blend Noir & Cosy mystery genres expertly
I didn’t expect much from this as I’d never heard of it before, but the photographs of the posters caught my eye so I thought I’d give it a go. This production from noted Japanophile Dave Boyle, however, really surprised me. I’m a huge fan of noir films, and I was curious how this American-Japanese bilingual film’s take on the elusive genre would turn out. I was pleasantly surprised!

The characters seem quite sweet in their way. You’ve got the Japanese mystery author who is hiding from her fame and missing her dead sweetheart. Then you’ve got the friendly old sheriff, wise yet not grizzled, differing from the stereotype of a hardboiled detective in that for all his years of experience he’s not jaded or glaringly cynical. He’s just good at his job. Not to mention he’s got his perky young daughter on his force, working smartly in this cute kind of partnership for the meantime until she overpasses him and joins the FBI.

Yet despite the cosy vibes, there’s this ever-real threat. Our writer-sleuth is essentially playing Nancy Drew, yet she’s facing serious danger and menace from some dodgy people. People go missing, thugs stalk her in the shadows, and you’re never sure what to make of all this. Is this a cosy mystery or a Hammett-esque thriller?

This uncertainty really gets played with as the fil twists and turns in the darkness, and honestly the way it turned out bumped this film at least a star higher than I would’ve rated it otherwise.

There’s mystery upon mystery as the crime at the heart of the story broadens in scope and becomes something larger than you thought. It’s classic noir but with some cosy sweetness between characters that few noirs have, without compromising the thrill of the seedy, dark moments. I was really impressed with how it all came together, and I’ve found that I haven’t stopped thinking about it since.
