Saeba Ryo is a "sweeper" in the city of Tokyo. He works as a trouble shooter, cleaning the streets of vermin, and helping out desperate people. Sometimes he's a bodyguard, sometimes he's an assassin, whatever Ryo does he does it well. In fact, his only flaw is his hormones - he loves the ladies and sometimes turns into an idiot when he's near them. Thankfully he's got people like his partner Kaori Makimura to keep him in check.

Exciting and Fun plot
What a roller-coaster emotional story.. Laugh, thrilled, heartbreaking, laugh, intriguing, cry then so on xD There's a lot of actions that showed skillful and badass Ryo.. It makes me hype watching it.. Also love how they make Kaori that tough but at the same time fragile.. Her acting is superb..But Suzuki Ryohei totally carried out the whole movie.. The moment they announced the cast, I knew he will nailed it.. and he did it more than I was expected.. ^_^
Nice camerawork that showed different kind and angle of shootings.. How I wish they make into drama series..
They have potential to develop the storyline.. Hopefully there's sequel..
Overall it was exciting and fun movie.. I really enjoyed watching it ^_^ Highly recommended

It's a fun-to-watch action film.
The film begins with Ryo and his colleague investigating a case in which a gorgeous girl mysteriously disappears, maybe as a result of some strange happenings in the city. While researching what occurred, Ryo and his partner become entangled in something deadly that could cost them their lives.There are many adaptations, so we already know ML's characteristics: he is brilliant, charming, has excellent communication skills, and, ultimately, he is proficient in martial arts. There is no doubt about Suzuki Ryotei's acting skills, his lines, facial expressions, and body language are exceptional. While Kaori, I'm not invested in her character at all because she is a little bit annoying.
I felt a little bit frustrated about the plot because it lacked some intense scenes, character development that make you blend and invest in the character's story, but after all this movie is worth watching because of its humor and relaxation.
Lastly, I thought it was a mini-series at first though.
