As someone who is a bookworm and reads lots of mystery, I can say that Japanese mystery books are among my favorites. They are gripping and usually the ending stays with me for a long time. And Higashino Keigo is a master in suspense/thrillers/mystery. All the tangles of the murder, who is connected to whom... not so much who is the murderer (there are not many suspects) but the reason of why behind the murder. And it was really touching; I was very touched at the flashback and the reasons behind the crimes. I am weak when it comes to father and daughter relationships :( and as always, Kohinata Fumiyo was great, he is so kind-looking... **weeps**

I was pleasantly surprise at the cameos at the end of the movie... cameos of actors who worked previously with Abe Hiroshi

On a side note, I wish more Higashino's books were translated, they are truly worth reading.

It's more than just a detective movie, in fact I would rather use the genre "human drama". It is so good and sad at the same time as it will always keep you guessing what will happen. If you are a fan of solving the crime saga this would be a good choice because it will not be easy to guess who is the criminal. The story can be confusing at times as they use a lot of flashback scenes. As this movie stars a lot of known actors and actress in Japan the acting is definitely a top notch. One advice; prepare a lot of tissues as you might really need it.
