The crash on Highway 101 killed three people and changed five more. In Tokyo, a detective uncovers a connection between this tragedy and a series of deaths near twelve bridges across Japan. Each victim is linked to a calendar month, and the only clue is a single name. This 2018 mystery thriller, based on Keigo Higashino's novel, follows a relentless investigation that peels back decades of secrets and a father's desperate sacrifice. A tense, procedural crime story where solving the puzzle means confronting a past buried in plain sight.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs the narrative as a multi-layered puzzle, where a detective's personal drama intertwines with the cold logic of an investigation. The atmosphere is sustained by the contrast between modern Tokyo and the ghosts of the past slowly coming to light.

It's for those who appreciate detective stories with psychological depth, where solving the crime becomes a journey into the human soul. The viewer will feel a mounting tension that resolves in an unexpected catharsis. — MovieFinder Editorial
