Watched all ten episodes of Japan's Crisis: Special Security Squad on Netflix, a compendium of high-level cases assigned to an NCIS-type team, including the token female character who plays a computer wizard. For some reason all of the four men looked to me like Kabukiza actors, the bomb expert playing female roles, but, of course, that's just me.

I thought that this movie was terribly disjointed until, in Episode 3, I realized that each episode was a separate case with its own beginning and ending. As such, the viewer gets ten stories, though not all have happy endings. The episodes show not only how ruthless perpetrators are but also how corrupt and dishonest the government is, and how the disillusionment of the youth can lead to terrorism. A must-watch for all who are pro- and anti-government.

Noted one continuity glitch in Episode 10. A wound on the female computer wizard's neck mysteriously is healed in a few succeeding sequences and then, in a following sequence, her neck is bandaged, almost as an afterthought.
