HiGH&LOW: The Red Rain (2016)

I'm glad that I watched High&Low S1&2 and High&Low: The Movie first because this wouldn't have made much sense to me otherwise. I loved that this movie went sideways within the franchise and that it expanded on the "universe" in which High&Low takes place because it allowed me personally to understand the geopolitical situation, so to speak.

I also loved that it expanded on the Amamiya brothers. I adored the reveal that Hiroto isn't actually blood related to Masaki or Takeru but that it doesn't matter to them at all, just like it didn't to their parents. Their family background, what happened to their parents - ouch!

It was sad that Takeru died in the end but I think that once he picked up a gun and started killing people, there was basically no way back for him without some kind of a punishment or penance because this whole franchise is founded on the idea of not killing, that this is the one boundary the "good ones" - gang members they might be - don't cross. You knock each other's teeth out but once you bring a knife or a gun to a fight, you're done, you're out.

Also, I loved that Takeru died not while taking revenge but protecting Hiroto, that thanks to his brothers and to Hiroto in particular Takeru found back before his death, that he remember what he taught them.

The moment I sniffled? When Hiroto took the girl in his arms and said the same words to her like Takeru before: I'm your wall.

Oh, I also adored the short moments when Hiroto and Masaki had to go back to S.W.O.R.D. and not just there but to Sannoh in particular! Masaki's annoyance, Yamato's annoyance, Cobra's eye-rolling - yup, they so rub each other wrong. They're allies, though reluctant, but gosh, do they rub each other wrong!

amamiya brother they r hardcore ,....this is movie is full of emotions and action..but for me it was perfect mix of action+drama.
takumi played a gr8 role in binding that masaki and hiroto ,shhowing in bwtn the glimps of their childhood and past tragedy ..also well conncented to other parts and series . some emotional scene were so amazng that i almost cried, showing brotherly love for each other and strong will to protect each other is wat movie about .
but that fight scenes were crucial for this movie . camera work omggg it was like so good with slow mooo use capturing the imp moments of the emotions and action scenes. all over must watch movie tho it was somewat cliche for me but try it fr some good fight zone .
