This movie is the follow-up on the movie “The
Glorious Team Batistsa”.
One year has passed since Taguchi Kimiko (Takeuchi
Yuko) and Shiratori Keisuke (Abe Hiroshi) solved the case with the Team Batista
scandal, and now Taguchi has unwillingly become a member of the ethnic’s board.
Still doing the counseling, she one morning gets an anonymous letter addressed
to her about a doctor having a collusive relationship with Medical Arts: a
medical supply company. After taking the letter to the hospital director she is
told to investigate which she only agrees on as long as she is allowed to leave
the ethics board.
While investigating one doctor from the
Medical Arts company dies, and Taguchi becomes a prime suspect since she was
last seen with him. Moments after being released she hears of Shiratori’s admitted
in the same hospital, so she goes to taunt him. But when she is told by
Shiratori that he had gotten the same letter as her they team up once again to
find the truth…
Compared to the first movie, the first
part, this one I like better. It has a bit more humor, and it is more ‘medical’
in the essences of there actually being more about patients and doctors. The duo
seems more enjoyable around each other, and the overall story is kind of a bit
more intriguing than the first movie. Though I have to admit, I like the drama
idea of the stories more. I haven’t watched the second season, but I think I will
still prefer the drama. The movies have this dark ‘cloud’ around it, as if it’s
scary in some way, and I am not sure it’s supposed to be like that. The atmosphere
is kind of dark, and it was like that in the first movie as well.
It’s an okay movie to watch if you liked
the first one.
