the trailer is great. the film, not as much. ryoto, (abe hiroshi), a divorced father, is behind in everything, including life. at 35 he had 15 minutes of fame for publishing a novel. at 49, he hasn't written anything in years and is living a rudderless existence. he is at least two months behind in child support payments. he spies on unfaithful partners for a living and that includes spying on his ex wife and her new boyfriend. he pumps his son for information about his mother. he is surrounded by enablers, who, of course, keep him afloat. and at 1:57 minutes, the movie seems long. this is not to say I didn't like the movie. the pace is slow, though.
