Synopsis: After a beautiful female is brutally murdered, a young journalist investigates while tweeting everything along the way.
Review: What I found interesting in this movie is that you see displayed on the screens Tweeter messages at the same time as the actors write them while doing or discussing about something else. This makes it very difficult to follow when you don't speak Japanese because you have to read the translations of the Tweets and of the dialogs at the same time! The first half hour is tough for that, but then it cleverly quites down. What I liked also is that you see replayed 3-4 times the same events but as they are told by different witnesses, showing how memories can be distorted (remember, it was the topic of Memento) or how people can modify their memories when they tell them in front of others or of a camera. Otherwise, I found the movie a bit long and not particularly well played.
Rating: 5 /10
