Promising start but weak ending
The story is quite promising but the executing of the movie did not deliver the suspense or black comedy. Six ex-convicts were re-settled in a Japanese coastal town where only a few people in the town knew about their past. The movie moved along slowly and could not build up the suspense. The characters of the six ex-convicts were also not fully developed. When people started dying in the town, the identity of the killer quickly became quite clear to the audience, leading to an absence of suspense. But some of the actions of the killer, such as trying to strangle his girlfriend, are not clearly explained. Furthermore, the ending was somewhat predictable. Lastly, there is hardly any connection between the movie title and the plot.
