It is considered to be very popular. Since the announcement and creation of a live action version For the live-action version of “City Hunter City Hunter” From the famous legendary manga that has been created many times, and 2024 is the year that this person returns to the screen again. Although we felt that it would be a bit of a letdown in live action.
City Hunter is the story of Ryo Saeba, a young man who is known as a scavenger. with a taste for liking beautiful, charming girls His work often uses his superb investigative skills to unravel mysteries. He has both an extremely cheeky personality and a cold personality on the other. When his partner was murdered is a mystery. So he joined forces with his younger brother. and form a new team to uncover the mysteries hidden in Shinjuku.
The movie version of City Hunter is directed by Yuichi Sato (Kasane: Beauty and Fate and Strawberry Night) and is of course also adapted from the manga by Tsukasa Hojo. Got “Tatsuro Mishima” who just appeared in the live action movie Zom 100 and the Yu Yu Hakusho series last year. Come help create the story and write the script for this movie version of City Hunter.
The 2024 version of City Hunter is a mess. It’s all the wrong way. Even though I understand the intention well. I wanted to honor the original and bring in the charm and uniqueness of Ryo in the manga version. But it turned out that when captured and made into a movie in this era It became awkward while watching. Amidst the changing era Attitudes in society have shifted in another direction. It turns out that Ryo’s masculine personality It’s not something that’s funny anymore.
You can feel that this movie should have a full budget and budget in terms of production. But it turns out that it’s a remake of a manga that has almost nothing developed and different from Japanese films from 10-20 years ago. The production elements all look very Japanese, the images, lighting, colors, and CK. Various numbers that were crumpled and put in Even if it’s something that revolves around the safe zone. But I came back to a safe space that made me feel so depressed.
Another part that feels a bit strange is the casting. Even though it is a big production But the selection of each role didn’t quite go well with each character, especially “Ryohei Suzuki,” a young actor who is skilled in roles. It turned out to be his City Hunter spirit this time. It’s such a stigma in the acting profession.
He seems to be trying to play the role of a cheeky, skilled detective. that his efforts were a bit too overwhelming The more action scenes with a calm face trying to keep Colin still from the manga version. When it came to be on the movie screen, it turned out to be a creepy image..not in a good way. I secretly feel disappointed and disappointed. That he couldn’t bring out the eloquence in this character to make the audience laugh. Because it’s all an effort. and try too hard
Meanwhile, Misato Morita is relatively new as a lead character in the film category. Although she has been active in dramas and series for many years, But the science of playing movies is often different from playing TV dramas. Therefore making the acting rhythm in her second movie this time It’s still full of clumsiness. Playing too big on Rachadalai. Until it seemed disappointingly a performance that forced itself too far.
Therefore, this version of City Hunter has mixed results, which is rather disappointing. Even though it’s a movie with a big production But they couldn’t do it at all in one aspect. Both screenplay work is very sparse. The content is no different from morning cartoons. I understand that he probably intended to respect the original. But it’s strange why they didn’t consider the enjoyment of the movie first.
Cut to the production and directing, just like Japanese movies from a decade ago. Revolving around the same old things, the same old work, there’s hardly any development. I often have to rub my eyes to see if this is really a 2024 movie. The acting parts were quite disappointing. Take a god-level actor and make it happen like you weren’t even born. Repeatedly creating a stigma for him with this character. No matter how we interpret it, it still doesn’t fall apart. Especially that stiff face… made us feel very hurt by Ryohei’s acting skills.
