A bad day gets worse for young detective Murakami when a pickpocket steals his gun on a hot, crowded bus.

With each step, cop and criminal’s lives become more intertwined and the investigation becomes an examination of Murakami’s own dark side.

Probably. The same trick of deliberately boring the viewer for creating a sense of immersion had been used 19 years before, in the (excellent) film 'Stray dog'.
