When a serial of child murdering hits
Tokyo, the NPA (National Police Academy) decides to call in the SARI (Special
Analysis Research Institute), who say they have found their perpetrator. The
man in charge, Kagura Ryuhei (Ninomiya Kazunari) is the system development
manager, and he introduced the NPA to the ‘DNA investigation system’ test case
no. 1, where the found DNA had lead them to not only know about the person but
also how he looks. After he is caught, the police officer Detective Asama
(Tokoyama Etsushi) notices that there had been obtained illegal DNA from a
patient, which had lead them to the perpetrator. He confronts Kagura, who tells
him that soon enough all DNA would be obtained legally from all Japan, and made
onto a main DNA hard drive.
Three months later, a sibling pair gets
killed in the SARI, who had also been involved in the making of the DNA system,
and being caught on camera, Kagura had been last seen with the sibling pair.
After the DNA is obtained, Kagura himself goes to check it out, and finds that
the DNA matches with him. In shock of the result Kagura starts running, but the
SARI has cameras all over Japan, and he becomes the prime suspect in the case,
making him on top of the list.
Running for his life, he meets his
assistant who tells him that she believes him, also she confines in him that
the victims were making a side project called MOGUL, which she believes is the
reason for their deaths. Now Kagura has to find out what MOGUL is, and make
sure he isn’t caught in the progress…
My first reason for watching this was of
course Nino, and ten minutes into it I didn’t like it. After a little while I
started getting interested in it, like it made me wonder and then I was caught.
It is an action packed movie with lots of good sides to it, but I have to
admit, I really am not a fan of action/chased movies. Not because they are bad,
but just simply because I need more conversation. I need logic and hell I need
depth. They did try to give me that here, but it just somehow seemed forced. I
like the backstory, but I kind of got confused by the absurdity of the ending.
Japanese really know how to freak you out. That said, there isn’t much bad
about it, it really is a movie in it grand self. Recommendable.
