Hero (2015)

I finished this entire series (from 2001 until this 2015 film) in about a week and two days! I'm so proud of myself! :D

Anyways... this movie is fantastic! I love the storyline and the script was very well written, it was nice to see some old faces and some new faces mixed in to the story and the cast; in the past series and specials and movie I liked Kimura Takuya most, but from this film it was hard to select just one actor or actress I liked more. It did move fast in some scenes, but otherwise it was pretty normal for the "Hero" series in general. It made me wish there was another drama or film, too! This series and the cast interact so well with each other it's hard not to want to watch more!

Excellent performance and the story is incredible unique. From the first "Hero", this is like the extension of the latest one. It is amazing that the two actresses from both Hero united. Keiko Kitawaga is the latest actress, starring in Hero.

Kohei Kuryu (Takuya Kimura) is a prosecutor at the Josai branch of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. He looks and thinks different from the other prosecutors. When he takes on a new case, he first goes to the scene of the incident and looks around with his own eyes. His unique habits as prosecutor has not changed over the past 13 years of his work.

Chika Asagi (Keiko Kitagawa) works as an assistant officer at the public prosecutor's office. She becomes influenced by Kohei Kuryu and grows as a person.

"Hero" is a very specific drama with an even more specific shooting style. Sometimes we see the image from a camera placed on the ceiling, sometimes from a camera mounted in the wall. It gives a very original effect, which may not be to everyone's liking, but it certainly makes this drama visually not trivial. Additionally, there is a distinct sense of humor and all the characters are clearly flawed, which gives them a specific, slightly sarcastic charm. In terms of plot, "Hero" quite subtly touches on a lot of important issues whether through its criminal cases or through the lives of its characters, which makes the drama interesting and varied. I appreciate this drama precisely for its wisdom presented in such an original way and for its specific humor. However, I have to admit that when I watch it again years later, it doesn't have the charm it had when I first watched it.
Good cast, music ok.
