If they made it as short series it would be much better.
This movie was boring, not well executed and the acting from the ML was awful.I hope to see him improve in his future works he has potential, his voice is good and his visuals are too, but here he served almost nothing! I might sound like I am too harsh, but believe me, I've watched many movies/series where the acting wasn't the best, and I couldn't bare this one.
I would not recommend it as an invested watch! If you want to just watch something, and practice your listening ( if you are learning Japanese ) - yes, but if you want to enjoy and watch for the plot and character development - then no.
However, if you are into reading, maybe give the manga a try. It is so much better. Most questions are answered and their story is developed well!!

Better than expected ( I wanted to fight too :(((( )
I have been a fan of HIGH & LOW for a long time.They all seem like friends I can rely on for the rest of my life, for real.
The plot was relatively simple and straightforward, with bits of info on the new characters' backstories. The movie had thrilling battles, the power of friendship, and moments where all you could do was clap and root for them, just like in every High &Low film. I believed that High & Low The Worst had one of the best fights, but here - damn, the action was even better.
The actors are spot on. I purposefully did not have high expectations for Yuta's acting, because I did not want to disappoint myself (don't get me wrong, I adore Yuta), but it was better than expected because he fits those kinds of movies pretty well. He has that piercing gaze that school heads always have before a major fight or when they are extremely angry, and it wassss mmmmwaaah chiefs kiss. His acting - perfect, his backstory - super cool, and just, just everything was great. As his acting debut, I think this role could possibly open big doors for him in this area. I cannot wait to watch his upcoming movie and see him in another light.
Overall, the movie was great. The visuals, the OST, the actors, the fights - everything amazing.
If you like those kinds of movies, just watch it without giving it much thought; however, if you want a movie with a solid plot and explanations, you might... consider it before clicking the play button. I'm just saying, because when I watched one of the movies with a friend, they said that, to someone who has no idea what the movie is about, it appears to have no plot and only random fights.
So, an advice, if you want to watch this because of Yuta, go ahead. If you just found it and you want to watch some fights - enjoy. However, if you expect to have a solid plot and a better understanding of why they are the way they are, why they constantly fight, why schools, why there is so much hatred/friendships, and so on, you might consider starting with the first films/series.
But as a fan of them, I absolutely loved this movie!

So refreshing!!
Okay, that was really good.I started the series because I wanted to watch something that was light and with a predictable story.
The first episode didn't work for me, I couldn't engage, however, I didn't want to drop it still, and a few episodes in - the magic happened, I couldn't stop.
The story was so fun, they had endless moments that made me laugh a lot. The actors had the perfect chemistry, and the side characters were one of the cutest I've ever seen(so happy we got to know them throughout the unfolding of the story). The major moments were well presented and were with really nice pacing. There were moments where the main story was kind of laid back in order to insert some other moments/ideas, but overall it was one of the funniest and cutest dramas I've watched so far for 2023.
I would recommend it to everyone I know. I genuinely watched it with pure excitement.
Although the acting was not the best (from what I've watched until now), they made it feel like you (the viewer) are one of them, one of their group and one of their friends. It felt real, even though the acting was not top-tier.
I definitely fell for each one of the characters and will keep an eye on their upcoming projects.
