About This Movie

So, '25' is an interesting piece from 2014, really dives into the murky waters of corruption within the police force. You've got these two detectives, Shintarou and Koichi, played by Sho Aikawa and Susumu Terajima, who are not your typical heroes. They engage in some pretty shady dealings, blackmailing criminal groups for their own gain. The atmosphere is gritty, and the pacing, while a bit uneven at times, manages to keep that tension building. The film explores themes of morality and greed, which gives it a distinctive edge. The performances are solid, especially the chemistry between the leads, even if the direction leaves you wondering about the choices made. It’s definitely one of those films that sticks with you in a strange way.

Not well-known, but has its quirks.Great for exploring themes of corruption.Interesting performances by the lead duo.
