Reviews
"The Last Message" received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, the film holds a modest rating of 4.7/10, indicating a divided reception. Some reviewers appreciated the authentic portrayal of forensic science and praised Seiyo Uchino's performance for bringing depth and sincerity to the lead role. Critics from Asian cinema forums noted the film's strong tie-in to the TV series and its appeal to existing fans due to the continuity in storytelling and character development. However, other critics pointed out pacing issues and felt the film lacked the gripping intensity often expected in the crime drama genre. The screenplay was described as occasionally predictable, and some felt the emotional impact was diluted compared to the television series. Overall, while "The Last Message" offers a detailed look into crime investigation, it may not fully resonate with audiences unfamiliar with the TV series or those seeking a high-stakes thriller. It stands as a respectable, if somewhat understated, addition to Japanese forensic dramas.
