The plot revolves around a godlike sniper who roams Tokyo shooting people. Tokyo descended into turmoil as everyone feared they would be killed by the sniper, not knowing who would be his next target.

The plot is interesting, but to truly comprehend what happens in this film-especially towards the conclusion-you really need to read the Conan manga. Consequently, not everyone should watch this movie.

To be honest, I found this movie to be a little boring. There is nothing wrong with it. Simply said, there is a lot thrown at you, and although some of it is fascinating, the tale isn't moving along quickly enough. Sincerely, I wasn't quite halfway through before I started to get bored, and that doesn't seem right for a mystery film. Still, everything is not lost. The bits that had me on the edge of my seat the most were the action scenes. Simply put, damn! What a blast the animators were having!

For me it's the worst Detective Conan movie ever, and to think the movie was made as 20th years celebration of this character. And why the teaser said that Akai was the sniper's target, when the plot totally different. It's lack of deduction and culprits to analyze, since from the beginning there was only one main suspect and later his ally, nothing mysterious at all. Too much FBI (maybe because the story point was SEAL army), they got all the information needed from their headquarters, and like I said before, seems nothing left for Conan to analyze. If you watch the second Detective Conan movie, that also involved shooting, "The Fourteenth Target", it's a much better one.
