A lesser known work from Kazunori Ito, more popularly known for his work on Ghost in the Shell, among many others, this is a straightforward crime thriller about an average Joe getting caught up in a criminal conspiracy. Personally, I love these kinds of movies, so I was already inclined to be generous, but this is just a really nice little movie. It moves along at a brisk pace, the animation is solid, the soundtrack is filled with bitchin' 80s guitar solos, and the action scenes are appropriately ridiculous and fun for the genre. There are certainly some bits and pieces here that you can nitpick.Yuki is kind of superfluous, the plot is pretty conventional, and the length is a bit too short (under an hour even if you include the credits). But this is a very fun and easily watchable movie in spite of all that. One which could have fixed most of its flaws simply by adding on another 30-45 minutes of content and expanding into a feature length film.
