Suspense movies with insufficient reasoning

This film was very exciting when I watched it, and when I saw the end, I couldn't help but sigh, "Is this the end?". This dissatisfaction comes entirely from the lack of reasoning in the film. The greatest joy of watching suspense and detective dramas is watching the process of the truth being revealed step by step. If some of these key steps are skipped, it's as if the answer is given all at once, and the fun is lost.

Speaking of which, I always thought that Masaharu Fukuyama might be a first-class musician but definitely a second-class actor. Many of his films just make people remember his charming face. As for Shibasaki Yukio, she has always disliked her because of her strange and gloomy appearance. Mainly because of this, "The Detective Galileo" can't be watched. Also because of her, although this "Devotion of Suspect X" is an adaptation of the masterpiece of the beloved Keigo Higashino, I haven't watched it for a long time. Luckily, I eventually found out that Chai is almost a soy sauce in this drama.

What made me watch with great interest was the wonderful rivalry between Tsutsumi Shinichi and Matsuyuki Yasuko. Tsutsumi Shinichi's emotional outburst at the end is really interesting. And Yasuko Matsuki's expression always makes me feel her anxiety, worry, panic...

One of the benefits of watching this film is not satisfied is that it makes me want to watch Higashino's original work. No, I just bought the book, and I plan to see how Yukawa sees through Shishen's deception.

I also have to say that the final scene is really good, with the female vocal song carefully arranged by Masaharu Fukuyama, the feeling of desolation lingers for a long time.

In a word, although it is not enough, it is still entertaining enough, and the human feeling overshadows the suspenseful movie of reasoning.

Rating: 8 out of 10
