A wave of gruesome murders is sweeping Tokyo. The only connection is a bloody X carved into the neck of each of the victims. In each case, the murderer is found near the victim and remembers nothing of the crime. Detective Takabe and psychologist Sakuma are called in to figure out the connection, but their investigation goes nowhere. An odd young man is arrested near the scene of the latest murder, who has a strange effect on everyone who comes into contact with him.
A great psychological thriller with the always fantastic Kôji Yakusho (Retribution). The brilliant camera work and subtle dark plot makes this a mysterious murder case you don't want to miss. Directed by one of my favorites, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, who've made films such as Tokyo Sonata (2008) and Pulse (2001), and is without a doubt someone I consider is somewhat of a modern master.
