Adapted from the 2013 novel by Aki Hamanaka, Do Unto Others directed by Tetsu Maeda is a dramatisation of Japan’s ongoing morality debate on the subject of euthanasia. What initially starts out as a criminal detective story, soon leads audiences into questioning their own position on the very touchy subject of assisted death of elderly patients suffering from degenerative diseases such as dementia. A spate of deaths amongst the elderly community under the care of the Yaga Care Center, as well as the murder of the care center’s manager causes detective Hidemi Otomo (played by Masami Nagasawa) to investigate the seemingly quiet and empathetic carer Munenori Shiba (Kenichi Matsuyama).
What is soon revealed is that the unassuming and mysterious Munenori is in fact, a prolific serial killer with 42 victims under his belt. Munenori murders elderly patients in order to relieve not only the patients of their suffering, but also their family carers of the“burden”, stemming from his own past experience of caring for his incapacitated father.
As Detective Otomo furthers her interrogation, she must also come to terms with her own situation concerning her mother who suffers from dementia and is living in an assisted care facility. The tonal shift from crime story to a tearjerker tale of humanity’s struggle with moral grey areas is not an entirely smooth enough transition, which in turn causes Do Unto Others to feel disjointed in terms of both theme and narrative.

Katcy Stephan SPOILER ALERT: This review discusses minor plot details and gameplay elements from “Rise of the Ronin.” “Rise of the Ronin,” the latest release from “Nioh” developer Team Ninja, is one of the most highly-anticipated game releases of the year, promising a high-octane role-playing story combining eastern and western combat styles. From its announcement, “Rise of the Ronin” drew inevitable comparisons to Sucker Punch’s critically-acclaimed 2020 release “Ghost of Tsushima.” It’s understandable: although “Ronin” takes place about 600 years after “Ghost,” both follow samurai warriors in Japan as they swing their swords in an action-adventure open world.
