movie adaptation of popular tv show be not a trend unique to america . the japanese have be do it for year before . odoru daisosasen ( bayside shakedown ) be but the late attempt to bring a popular japanese tv show to the big screen . base on fuji tv popular and hip cop show star pretty boy yuji oda and bayside shakedown basically deliver what fan of the tv show expect and want . all the formula that make the tv show such a hit be all well display here . just a with the tv show there be the right blend of comedy and drama and action and even some bureaucratic intrigue in the mix . unlike recent american attempt at update tv show such a mission impossible and the avenger and wild wild west and mod squad and the upcoming charlie angel and bayside shakedown have not alter or revise it look ( grant bayside shakedown be a relatively recent tv show a oppose to the example say above ) . all the character from the show and those actor that play the character on the tv show be all here . this be basically your equivalent to a tv movie or ` reunion show albeit one gear towards a theatrical release . all that be say and bayside shakedown will definitely please fan of the show and but for those like myself who be not really fan it leave somewhat of a mixed reaction . the story be not all too exciting and the action be somewhat tame for a movie . bayside shakedown succeed solely on the effort of oda and the cast and their interaction with each other . there a lot of flash and style but it might have as well be a direct to video release than a ` road show ` movie extravaganza . a nice try but could have be well .
