The body of a male has been discovered, strangled to death, his face pulverized beyond recognition and fingers burned to a crisp. Assigned to the case are local precinct detective, Kaoru Utsumi, and her ex”colleague from headquarters, Shunpei Kusanagi. It turns out that the neighbor of the victim’s ex”wife is a college alumnus of brilliant physicist, Manabu Yukawa, aka “Detective Galileo.”He is Tetsuya Ishigami, a high school math teacher whom Yukawa personally considers a true genius. When Yukawa is brought onto help with the case by Utsumi, he begins to suspect that this “true genius”and a with whom Yukawa shares a bond of friendship as an intellectual equal is somehow connected to the murder. Elaborate bluffs, false testimonials, loopholes in logic, all begin to appear in Detective Galileo’s way as if intentionally placed as a challenge by someone with mathematical brilliance.

    Masaharu Fukuyama & Kou Shibasaki back together again!

    If you enjoyed the tv-drama Galileo and the special… then you will like this one made for the big screen. More dark and intense than the tv series, the two work together to hunt down “Suspect X”.

    9 stars out of 10.

    Domo arigato for sharing this movie.
