Jeneraru rûju no gaisen (2009)

Jeneraru rûju no gaisen: Directed by Yoshihiro Nakamura. With Yûko Takeuchi, Hiroshi Abe, Michiko Hada, Yasufumi Hayashi. The talented medical staff at Tojo University Hospital finds themselves ensnared in a web of intrigue and scandal.

“u0026quot;The Triumphant Return of General Rougeu0026quot; is a sequel to u0026quot;The Glorious Team Batistau0026quot; (2008) with Taguchi and Shiratori acting as internal affairs for the hospital again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnlike typical mystery and suspense of solving murders in the first film, u0026quot;General Rougeu0026quot; focuses more on corporate politics of the hospital, which is just fine, but I felt the movie itself also serves a political purpose in an attempt to solve the doctor shortage in Japan. There were some blatant over-glorification of lifesavers in hospital, and a cheesy ending.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eActing was excellent in this film, with inconsistent Takeuchi Yuuko acting perfectly for the role, and wonderful casting of Sakai Masato as u0026quot;General Rougeu0026quot;. However, Abe Hiroshiu0026#39;s appearance was very late, and played an extremely minor role. A little fan service with the u0026quot;Team Batistau0026quot; cast was nice though.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, it is quite watchable, but donu0026#39;t expect it to be as good as the first installment.”
