Safeguard (2020)
8/10
Do bother. Seriously.. Do.

Firstly, I imagine the reason why the main actor Akie Kotabe was dubbed, was because he actually can't speak fluent Japanese, on top of being a pretty average actor to hold a lead in a film. His Japanese is terrible and is embarassing to Japanese audiences who would never take it seriously.

Secondly, the person who wrote and directed this did an amazing job with what I can only tell was a tiny budget. Thirdly, Yuriri Naka was in fact the worst actor in this entire film.

Anyone that gave positive reviews to this film was either an independent filmmaker, a decent human being or understands the filmmaking process and is an impartial audience member, not a troll.

This film was entertaining and funny with great little nuances planted all the way through. This is exactly the reason why directors and actors should combine their work if they have the ability to do so and their should be more of them out there that take the risks, be bold and are brave enough to stand up to all the negative critics and trolls out there.
