Senzaki Daisuke (Ito Hideaki) is a new
coast guard recruit, with a master diving license. He joined the coast guard
due to boredom at being a salary man. Being cocky and sort of undisciplined, he
isn’t really interested in being a diver, but when Mishima Yuji (Kaito Ken)
pokes at his pride, he decides to fight back.
On a day out Daisuke meets Izawa Kanna
(Kato Ai), a fashion journalist, who he almost has a one night stand with. Even
though they decided to part, they keep meeting again.
When the trainees are introduced to the ‘buddy’
system, Daisuke is teamed up with Kudo Hajime (Ito Atsushi), the lowest
trainee, and the most likely to be released from duty. At first Daisuke finds
him annoying and thinks of him as being in the way, but as time passes they
become close.
Now he has to make sure that Hajime passes
the test…
First of all bad summary, but sort of what
this movie about. That said, I like this, maybe much more than I thought I
would. If you’ve watched and liked those Japanese inspiration dramas, like when
someome has a hobby or a dream, and then fights for it, you will probably love
this too. I mean, for a movie that is almost 10 years old, I honestly was
moved. Seriously people sacrificing their lives for other people, is honestly
something Japanese are great at making movies off. Acting wise, great.
Chemisty, there too, and lastly story, pretty good. Oh yeah, and a whole loads
of butts. (Don’t ask)
All in all, a great Japanese movie.
☆☆☆☆ / 4 out of 5
