Impossibility Defense (2017) User Reviews

Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 5/10 · 8 May 2019]

One thing that I loved about impossibility Defense was the performances. They were excellent and all actors and actresses were great.

The story was good as well, with enough thrill and the violence was handled nicely as well. Plus, the whole atmosphere of the movie was dark and mysterious. However, the story was complecated at some scenes and the final ending didn't really give insight on the main character. Maybe if I had watched the drama, I would have gotten a better perspective on the characters, however I have only watched this movie and thus, on that department, I was let down.

So, five out of ten.

Stupid movie

[mister_bateman · 5/10 · 17 July 2020]

This is like a bad, low budget X-Files episode. Supernatural elements only work, if the rest of the story remains believable and doesn't defy all rationality and laws of the universe. But this movie is just absurd from start to finish. The plot is formulaic, there's lots of bad acting, the actions of the protagonists make no sense and the worst - none of the characters are relatable. You just don't care about any of them or what's going on.

Don't waste your time.

An Assassin with Unique Abilities

[Uriah43 · 6/10 · 6 March 2021]

This film essentially revolves around an urban legend in Japan where a person who desperately wants someone killed need only put a message in a specific phone booth and await the appearance of an assassin who will contact them shortly. As it so happens, this particular assassin named "Tadashi Usobuki" (Tori Matsuzaka) has a unique ability to control other people's minds through the power of suggestion and as a result he can make his victim believe that he or she is experiencing a fatal situation when in reality they are just fine-but they die of it anyway. To that extent, however, if the person ordering the assassination has an ulterior motive they are warned ahead of time that he will come for them as well. Be that as it may, after one such incident is caught on tape where Tadashi is standing near a person who has just died, an inspector by the name of "Tomoko Tada" (Erika Sawajiri) begins an intense effort to link him to these deaths even though there is no evidence to substantiate it. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a decent enough film which contained enough mystery and action to keep my attention from start-to-finish. Admittedly, not being too familiar with the comic book, I would have preferred a bit more character development but it isn't something that's absolutely essential for this particular movie. Regardless, I enjoyed this film for the most part and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
