Stumbling upon the 2020 Japanese comedy "Ichido Shinde Mita" (aka "Not Quite Dead Yet"), I opted to sit down and watch what writer Yoshimitsu Sawamoto and director Shinji Hamasaki had to offer. Sure, I had never even heard about the movie prior to actually sitting down to watch it.
I was immediately drawn to the movie, given its cover. And I have to say that the movie's synopsis sounded like something that could be fun. Sounded like it...
However, the storyline in "Ichido Shinde Mita" was a swing and a miss from writer Yoshimitsu Sawamoto in terms of entertaining me. This was mainly because of the character gallery in the storyline, man, talk about annoying and irritating characters. And the dialogue they had to deliver was just toe-curling to listen to. Especially lead actress Suzu Hirose's character was so annoying that I ended up giving up on the movie.
I found no entertainment or enjoyment here in "Ichido Shinde Mita". So this is definitely not a movie that I will recommend fans of the Japanese cinema to rush out and get to watch.
My rating of "Ichido Shinde Mita" lands on a two out of ten stars.
