Stray K9's

Stray Dogs is my first, full, foreign film I've seen all the way through. A thing I noticed was how the hot weather seemed to build up during the rising action followed by pouring rain shortly before (what I thought was the climactic scene) Sato-san's (veteran officer) shooting. One thing I was wondering throughout the film, whenever Murakami (the main guy) would say, "He's got X number of bullets left in my gun." was: Are there not other bullets he can steal or obtain otherwise? Why would he not make sure he had a sufficient amount of ammo? You would think a war veteran would be prepared. I enjoyed it when Murakami was searching that room for Yusa trying to keep calm. As soon as Yusa knew it was him you could feel his, "OH CRAP!" moment and the chase commenced. It amazes me how our brains will put ourselves in the shoes of characters we see and somewhat empathize with. My Overall impression of the film is a good one. I've never really considered watching older movies until Prof. Leeper's intro class. I've always perceived them as boring and too old (long ago) for my generation.
