Review |
A Man movie review: Japanese mystery novel adaptation is polished but hardly riveting, with Sakura Ando and Satoshi Tsumabuki pondering lies and morality
- Kei Ishikawa’s film follows a lawyer asked to do a background check on the late husband of an ex-client, after it turns out the man wasn’t who he claimed to be
- But there’s a lack of urgency as the story unfolds, leaving one feeling that the book on which it’s based would be more gratifying than this languid adaptation
