物語としても、
AIの裁判があったらというifとしても
よく出来ている。
主人公の動きや
心理的な状況もよく作り込まれて
物語に必然性を与えている。
裁判にかけられた主人公が
ある問題を抱えた敏腕の刑事というのも
裁判AIとのやり取りに
緊張感を持たせている。
密室劇なのに、
あらゆる調査が可能というのも
技術の進歩と
そのAI裁判の仕組みが社会に浸透し、
あらゆる個人情報が管理下に置かれ
いつでも参照可能になっている様は
あり得そうだし、
AIの出す検索結果、そこからの
提案も含めて、今の時代から何年後かは、
そうなっているだろうというリアルさもあった。
論理のAIと人間の直感の対比も面白い。
ただ全体を見終わって、
引っかかってしまった。
物語の背骨である
刑事が裁判にかけられてしまった
真犯人の動機の部分だ。
この動機に至るまでの積み上げの最初の部分が
雑に感じてしまった。
敏腕の刑事だから、
裁判AIと丁々発止のやり取りができたけど、
そうじゃない、普通の人だったら・・・
この裁判の公平性って本当に担保されているのか？
という疑問。
物語の根幹が裁判制度であるだけに
そこの屋台骨が少し弱いと感じてしまった。
裁判AIの
証拠の提示のスピード感と
検索の速さ、
見せ方が凄かっただけに、
それを使いこなせない普通の人は一体・・・。
そんな風にリアルに考えてしまうほどに
あり得る未来を描いた意欲作だとも
思いました。
【今】、観ておくべき映画です。
As a story, and also as an “if” of what it would be like if there were an AI-run trial, it’s very well made.
The protagonist’s actions and psychological state are carefully built up, giving the story a strong sense of inevitability.
It also adds tension that the protagonist put on trial is a highly capable detective who carries a certain problem—his exchanges with the trial AI have real bite.
Even though it’s essentially a chamber piece, the fact that every kind of investigation is possible makes sense.
With technological progress and with the system of AI trials permeating society, it feels plausible that all personal information would be placed under management and could be referenced at any time.
Including the search results the AI produces and the suggestions it makes from them, it has a realism that makes you think: a few years from now, this is probably what things will look like.
The contrast between an AI of logic and human intuition is also interesting.
But after watching the whole thing, something bothered me.
It was the part that forms the backbone of the story: the motive of the true culprit that led to the detective being put on trial.
The very first part of the buildup leading to that motive felt sloppy to me.
Because he’s a capable detective, he can go back and forth with the trial AI—
but if he were an ordinary person instead…
Is the fairness of this trial really guaranteed? That’s the question that stayed with me.
Precisely because the core of the story is the judicial system itself, I felt the supporting framework there was a bit weak.
The trial AI’s speed in presenting evidence, the speed of its searches, the way it’s shown—everything is impressive.
Which is exactly why I kept thinking: what about an ordinary person who can’t make full use of that?
To the point that I found myself thinking about it in such a realistic way, I also felt it was an ambitious work depicting a future that could actually happen.
A film you should watch now.
