Think Again, Junpei

About This Movie

Think Again, Junpei is an intriguing blend of crime and drama, set against the backdrop of yakuza culture. The pacing leans into a slow burn, allowing the tension to build as our low-ranking protagonist grapples with his assignment. The film's tone is a mix of somber and contemplative, which contrasts sharply with the violence lurking just beneath the surface. What stands out is the unexpected chemistry between him and the office lady; her enthusiasm adds a layer of warmth to an otherwise ruthless world. The performances are quite engaging, particularly the lead, who embodies that struggle for recognition with a palpable intensity. And while the practical effects might not be the flashiest, they serve the story well, grounding it in a gritty realism.
