2.0

I’m usually one to prefer the book to the movie, but in this case I much prefer the movie. The story is told from the point of view of a very sexist main character and while this appears to be the point, Aoyama  can’t see past his own prejudices and the picture he’s painted of this woman he barely knows, it feels like a bit TOO much to be just that in my opinion.

Giving it 2 stars due to my enjoyment of the movie and the satisfaction I felt when Asami finally severed that unpleasant man’s foot.
