Tetsou: The Bullet Man (2009)

Director: Shinya Tsukamoto

Premise:
A timid man goes into a fit of rage after his young son is ran down by a car. Soon he starts to morph into a robot-like monster.

My Take:
Being a huge fan of most other Tsukamoto other films and the two previous Tetsou movies, I was looking forward to this one. I didn't find it as good as the other ones. The camera work was fantastic. Unfortunately the story was just a tad off for me. Sometimes it's better not to explain the reason why and leave it up for interpretation.
Still, if you're a fan of the director or the previous movies give this one a watch.

Rating: In the middle
