Review of Love and Honor (2006) by Sean O — 02 May 2008
It's hard to imagine fans of the saccharine-sweet boy-band SMAP flocking to this film just because of Kim-Tak, which is to his credit; he obviously has more to him than his forgettable singing voice or face.
A slow-burning, more and more tense story, it can't compete with Tasogare Seibei, though of course it's a very similar story. I'm just glad Kimura didn't ruin it (after all, putting the lead singer of a boy-band in a chauvinistic tough-guy role doesn't sound like a recipe for success; imagine Justin Timberlake as the next James Bond).
