Drowning Fish
When corporate executives are blackmailed into public displays of nudity on the busy streets of Shinjuku, the big guns are called out to locate "Oboreru Sakana". The "big guns" are a misfit duo of ethically questionable characters who must infiltrate a gay nightclub and "fit in" while they search for clues. What ensues is both hilarious and action-packed. Oboreru Sakana is a rather ambitious and often hilarious contemporary crime thriller. Its narrative swings from the grisly to the humorous and pulls in as many pop culture elements as it can manage.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film is a bold genre hybrid, throwing together tense action set pieces with outright farce. Its chaotic energy is compelling, using grotesque humor to undercut a potentially grim blackmail plot.
What lingers after the credits roll is the sheer audacity of its vision—a crime thriller that isn't afraid to be ridiculous, creating a unique and memorable cinematic experience. — MovieFinder Editorial
