Suspect X (VCD) (English Subtitled) (Hong Kong Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

Starring popular actor/singer Fukuyama Masaharu and top actress Shibasaki Kou (Shaolin Girl), the hit 2007 Fuji TV detective drama Galileo inspired a big screen spin-off and a TV special in 2008, both of which arrived on October 4. The double dose proved to be a resounding success: the TV special Galileo - Episode Zero drew ratings of over 20%, and the film Suspect X topped the box office for four straight weeks to become the third highest-grossing Japanese film of the year.

Directed by Nishitani Hiroshi (Star Reformer), Suspect X transplants the TV drama's winning formula and the mind-twisting appeal of Higashino Keigo's original story straight to the big screen. Eternal heartthrob Fukuyama Masaharu stars as charmingly nerdy genius physicist and professor Yukawa Manabu who uses his supreme intellect and reasoning to help headstrong detective Kaoru (Kou) solve mysterious cases. This time Yukawa meets his match in Ishigami Tetsuya (acclaimed actor Tsutsumi Shinichi, Always - Sunset on Third Street), a math genius and Yukawa's former classmate who orchestrates the seemingly perfect murder cover-up. Can Yukawa unwrap the mystery, and bring his friend to justice?

Product Information

Director : Hiroshi Nishitani

The body of a male has been discovered, strangled to death, his face pulverized beyond recognition and fingers burned to a crisp. Assigned to the case are local precinct detective, Kaoru Utsumi, and her ex-colleague from headquarters, Shunpei Kusanagi. It turns out that the neighbor of the victim's ex-wife is a college alumnus of brilliant physicist, Manabu Yukawa, aka “Detective Galileo.” He is Tetsuya Ishigami, a high school math teacher whom Yukawa personally considers a true genius. When Yukawa is brought onto help with the case by Utsumi, he begins to suspect that this “true genius” and a with whom Yukawa shares a bond of friendship as an intellectual equal is somehow connected to the murder. Elaborate bluffs, false testimonials, loopholes in logic – all begin to appear in Detective Galileo’s way as if intentionally placed as a challenge by someone with mathematical brilliance.

Hitchcock couldn't have done it better Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This movie is a gem. With an excellent cast, ingenious story, intelligent script, creative cinematography, and masterful editing, director Nishitani Hiroshi has crafted one of the best films of suspense I've seen in years.

The ex-husband of Hanaoka Yasuko (Matsuyuki Yasuko) bursts into the home of Yasuko and her daughter. When he begins to beat Yasuko's daughter, Yasuko does what she needs to do to protect her child ... and her ex-husband ends up dead. Yasuko's neighbor, the genius mathematician Ishigami Tetsuya (Tsutsumi Shinichi), overhears the commotion and offers to get Yasuko out of this mess. The police soon find a dead body whose identity seems to have been totally obscured. However, they soon believe they have figured out who the victim was and Hanaoka Yasuko quickly becomes their prime suspect. Police detective Utsumi Kaoru (Shibasaki Kou) aided by brainy physics prof Yukawa Manabu (Fukuyama Masaharu) are on the case. Can they solve it or has the math whiz managed to outwit them?

Big stars Shibasaki and Fukuyama are terrific as the investigators who seek to untangle this seemingly unsolvable case, but Tsutsumi Shinichi and Matsuyuki Yasuko (who was so good as the dance teacher in "Hula Girls") are even better in their beautifully nuanced performances. The story, although unfolded at a deliberate pace, grips the viewer throughout. We even get the treat of hearing a lovely Kou Shibasaki song over the closing credits! I absolutely loved this great film and recommend it very highly.
