K's thick-lensed glasses have caused him to be nicknamed "Four Eyes" in newspaper articles. Roy's sister, 17-year-old Hinano (Hinano Yoshikawa) spots Four Eyes one day, follows and befriends him, and even after seeing him shoot at people, she remains attracted to him. The film features a cameo by Takeshi Kitano. Shown in the Certain Regard section at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Chuck Rudolph, Matinee Magazine
Less a crime flick than another disjointed thesis on unsettled, alienated youth.
-
Daniel Eagan, Film Journal International
The film's calm, quiet tone and outsider's point of view give unexpected depth to what ends up a slender but enjoyable story.
