I was reading "FiRST" magazine, February 2009 edition and came across this interesting Japanese movie review. After reading the review, i'm tempted to watch the movie and i also like Hiroshi Abe and Yuko Takeuchi who are starring in the movie. I may rent the dvd as i can't find the movie online from mysoju.com. This Japanese movie is based on the award-winning medical mystery novel of the same name by Kaido Takeru and was released in Japan in February 2008. With its surprising light tone and unusually tidy look, "The Glorious Team Batista" stand apart from your typical murder thriller.
Set in a Tokyo hospital, it tells the story of a Health Ministry Investigator, Keisuke Shiratori (Hiroshi Abe), who's trying to find out why an elite tem of surgeons, known as Team Batista for their skill at administering the heart-saving Batista procedure, have fatally botched their last three ops when they have previously successfully performed numerous similiar surgeries . The meek hospital therapist Kohei Taguchi (Yuko Takeuchi) reluctantly assists the confrontational Keisuke in his investigation, but when one of her favourite patients dies on the table, she realises that Keisuke is the hospital's best hope to finding an answer....
