Chameleon


Note: This movie is in Japanese with English subtitles

Death Note's Fujiwara Tatsuya transforms into an action star in the 2008 crime thriller Chameleon. Directed by Sakamoto Junji (Aegis, Face), the hardboiled actioner revolves around a group of small-time swindlers whose lives are thrown in peril after they cross a dangerous crime syndicate. Fujiwara Tatsuya gets to show off both his chameleon acting and action skills as the gun-brandishing hero, a challenging role originally written for late actor Matsuda Yusaku. Popular actress Mizukawa Asami (Monkey Magic, Last Friends) co-stars as a fortune teller with a mysterious past, along with rising star Shioya Shun (Like a Dragon) and antagonist Toyohara Kosuke (Children of the Dark).
The chameleon leader of a con ring, Goro (Fujiwara Tatsuya) and his cohorts happen to witness a kidnapping one day after a successful scam. Goro records the incident on his mobile phone, and soon learns that the kidnapped man is a key witness in a high-profile political corruption case. The perpetrators, however, are also aware Goro and his friends have incriminating evidence on hand. Goro cuts a deal with kidnapping mastermind Kijima (Toyohara Kosuke) - secrecy in exchange for safety - but when one of Goro's partners rescinds on the agreement, so too does the enemy. With Kijima and his men eliminating their gang one by one, Goro must fight back with all he's got to avenge his buddies and protect his new love (Mizukawa Asami).
