Watching this movie helped to remind me why I love Detective Conan(or at least the movies) and why it is such a great series. I remember how amazed I was when I first saw The Time-Bombed Skyscraper and The Fourteenth Target.

I mentioned earlier that Zero the Enforcer captures the magic of the first few movies and I confess that it may be my nostalgia talking. Nevertheless, it's a gripe I can overlook since there's still a chance that a better translation will eventually replace the version I've reviewed. While the subtitles do a good enough job of letting the viewer know what the characters are saying, it occasionally struggles with explaining more complex elements such as the PSB's involvement with crime investigation and prosecution, both of which are essential to the film's story. That being said, a lot more could've been done to make this film more comprehensible. This is probably the most dynamic cast of characters I've seen in a Detective Conan movie so far. Not only is the main cast in top form here, the film's original characters receive a lot of attention and development as the movie goes on. Moment and (almost)nothing feels forced and unnatural. The story coasts along a smooth and consistent pace that never bores the viewer and keeps them anticipating what will happen next. This is definitely among the biggest movie in terms of scale and personal involvement as not only must he save Japan, but also his girlfriend's family.

I'm just here for some good action with cool smart characters. Well, I didn't come in expecting grand deductions and intriguing mystery-solving. Many people complaint that Detective Conan movies don't really focused on mystery-solving anymore, and instead filled with unrealistic actions.
