Black Jack

About This Movie

Black Jack (2000) is an intriguing blend of action, crime, and drama that spins a tale around Matsuzaki, a man who's taken a wild ride through desperation after a botched deal. The film's atmosphere is steeped in a sense of urgency as Matsuzaki's girlfriend rushes him to a church, where miracles—or at least peculiarities—are rumored to occur. The introduction of the strange twins, Pinoko, adds a surreal twist, leading to the entrance of the enigmatic surgeon BJ, whose methods and fees are as unconventional as they come. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to that chaotic feel, which might leave you pondering the nature of morality in a world that feels both gritty and fantastical. The performances are solid, particularly in how they navigate this bizarre narrative space.
