What an interesting movie that was!

A battle of wits, a dialogue-heavy two hours feature and not one second of boredome. The exchanges kept me on the edge of my seat and sure, some of the wittiness and stunning proses gets lost in translation but the delivery is so magnificent that you can, imho, easily move past that. The writing is quite unbelievable, the dialogues are so enticing and grip your attention and some of the proses are actually explained furthermore, which is nice. It truly felt like watching a battle of wit, a battle of words and I was genuinely fully into it. It rought certain subject up and will make you think after your watch, about ideas and opnions shared throughout their verbal tiki-taka.

The acting was very VERY good, the chemistry quite palpable, I mean what an incredible duo! Yuki Yamada surprised me by how great he was and how well he faced Sato Jiro! Bakudan is not for everyone but if you enjoy proses, study of characters; feature that leave you with thoughts and heavy dialogues, you will absolutely love this and I genuinely recommend it!
