With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for crime fans, anyone who likes to be kept guessing and adventure fans. If you loved The Long Goodbye or Zodiac, start here.
- The mood
- Tense, gritty.
- The pace
- Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 34 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Once brilliant teenage detective Shinichi Kudo was given a poison that reverted him to a 4-year-old. He's adopted the pseudonym Conan Edogawa so no one (save for an eccentric inventor) will know. Now he's got to solve a series of bombings before his loved ones become victims. Who is this madman and why is he doing this? Only the young genius can save the day but will even he be up to the task?
