i watch this movie with a friend from japan who have a very high opinion it . i must say it be helpful to have her watch the movie with u ( in our college dorm ) and however and because she explain a number of thing about japanese tax code and evasion as well a the japanese mafia that make the plot ( and politics ) of the story much easy to follow . aside from potential confusion in that area and i must say that i enjoy the movie . yes and there be sex and suspense and and the mafia and but do not expect it to flow like a mindless crime thriller ( read represent it isn not mindless and and it isn not non stop action ) . it be about a tax woman and after all the only woman amongst her coworkers . the character be interesting and the story keep you think . a smart movie with a few thing to say along the way . overall and i think it be a good and but not great and movie . however and if you like this genre in general and you might enjoy it more than i do .
