The guy is handsome and I love crime dramas. It was an easy decision to watchlist this movie. How bad can it be after all? And it's not. It's actually interesting in a twisted kind of way, only it defies all expectations. It covers a whole range of genres, least of all crime drama. It starts with a crime and an unresolved murder, but there's hardly an investigation, criminal or journalistic. It starts to delve into the victims' past and it's strange, but they're so unpleasant it's hard to care that they were murdered or even see them as victims. The memory of them as recounted by friends and acquaintances reveals nearly psychopathic behaviour. It's almost like the world is better off without these two in it. Which is an odd choice, but it makes sense at the very end.
Did not see it coming and it certainly takes you by surprise with the repeated revelations towards the end and the personal connection, coming together towards a shocking conclusion and then it all makes sense in a very twisted way. Including the title.
I am reluctant to rate it this high, it's more of a rational choice, because I resented it for being a very different type of movie and it feels like it relishes a little too much focusing on antisocial behaviour. And I'm being euphemistic so as not to spoil things. Much like the movie Himizu, it kind of overdoes it.
