This is not a suspense drama. Why should this standard be used to measure this literary and artistic film that reflects on the judicial system and has a strong social character? I don’t know if it has anything to do with my own way of thinking. I have the tonality of this film from beginning to end. Surprisingly, the script is still very skillful.
The role of the criminal defense lawyer in the film - do you have to care about the truth? Does the client's will have to agree? Is it really unjust that a lawyer who prevents the client from admitting a crime is really unjust? A lot of newcomers think about it... One thing that resonates very much is that the annual case closure rate of Japanese judges also affects their evaluations, so everyone sits on the judicial boat, signaling to each other, and tacit understanding. The defendant's death sentence has not changed.
The pace is slow or something, it is the evaluation of the audience who want to watch the criminal investigation film eager for an answer. If the case is placed in a secondary position, with a mentality of exploring the law and reason, this film can be said to be very powerful.
