Review:

Image from: Himitsu: The Top Secret (2016)

I really have no idea whether this movie pans out or not... because the English subtitles are absolutely the worst translation I have ever seen. It is so bad that even during an investigative meeting where the characters were speaking clear English, the English translation botched what they were saying to a level of incomprehensible... which is where I left this movie about 15 minutes in (and it's amazing I lasted that long. Not going to invest 2 hours of time trying to figure out what they're talking about). Until they invest in a better translation source, this one's trash-can fodder.
