Review of Tokyo Vice

Tokyo Vice (2022–2024)
6/10
I hate to it but Elgort is dragging it down.

I love almost everything about this. The cinematography is amazing, the storyline is class, Watanabe is great as the disgruntled detective, but Ansel Elgort is just not the right guy for me. There are stretches where I'll forget about Elgort and the scenes flow seamlessly, but then I'll be jarred by the way he delivers a line, or by the way he's holding his backpack (not his fault but I really despised this costume choice), or the clumsiness he seems to always have. Yes I understand he's the white guy that's different and trying to make his mark in a place that he wants to be a part of, but he just can't sell it completely for me.
