Toshiki “Taka” Takayama, and Yuji “Yuji” Oshita, who had retired as detectives and opened a private detective agency in New Zealand, return to Yokohama for the first time in 8 years. One day, a Japanese lawyer living in Hong Kong is murdered. Taka, who felt suspicious about the incident, visits Liu Fei Long, a man who has a connection with the two in the past, but Taka is worried that Stella Lee, a business partner of Fei Long, who he met there, looks like his former lover. At the same time, a young woman named Ayaka Nagamine visited the the pair at "T&Y detective agency", asking for help in finding her mother. Natsuko, Ayaka’s mother, was an old acquaintance of Taka and Yuji. The pair started searching for Natsuko, but there are a series of murders in Yokohama. Eventually, these escalate and a terrorist plot involving a bomb is afoot. (Source: Japanese = Eiga || Translation = Charbonnel on MyDramaList) Edit Translation

Classic style action-comedy done right.

Before I launch into any kind review, you do not need any context to enjoy this film. It can be enjoyed both in isolation and in context of previous works.

A very enjoyable action comedy that you could bring the whole family along to watch. Imagine a James Bond style film, but instead, place a pair of retired Japanese cops with a solid sense of humour and style in the spotlight.

The soundtrack was PERFECTION and I don’t have much else to say about that. The veteran actors still got it, a still stylish and legendary duo. The story was fun, and that’s the easiest way I can describe it.

The film didn’t let itself get bogged down in politics or agendas, it wasn’t trying to appease anyone or anything, it aimed for fun and hit the bullseye.

This made me want to watch the previous instalments of the series. I cannot recommend it enough. It’s the kind of fun that makes people feel nostalgic to about the fun going to the movies years ago.
