The Mole Song: Final
The Mole Song: Final (Japanese: 土竜の唄 FINAL, Hepburn: Mogura no uta: Final) is a 2021 Japanese action comedy film directed by Takashi Miike from a screenplay by Kankuro Kudo based on the popular manga series Mogura no Uta by Noboru Takahashi. It is the final film in the trilogy beginning with the 2013 film The Mole Song: Undercover Agent Reiji and continued in the 2017 film The Mole Song: Hong Kong Capriccio.
Undercover investigator Reiji Kikukawa, nicknamed "The Mole", learns that Shuho Todoroki, head of the Sukiya-kai, plans to purchase a shipping container full of 10 tons of amphetamines disguised as pasta being sold by the Italian Guillotina Family led by Don Razza. Reiji is tasked by the police with catching Shuho Todoroki and arresting him at the deal, thereby postponing Reiji's return to normal life as well as his marriage proposal to his girlfriend Junna.
At the time of the transaction, Shuho's son Leo arrives to perform the deal instead. Reiji realizes that Shuho is safely aboard the Costa Firenze, which cannot be searched by the Japanese police because it is sailing under an Italian flag. Reiji makes his way aboard, where Junna is on a singles' cruise in an attempt to forget about Reiji.
Masaya Hiura, a.k.a. "Crazy Papillon", seeks to eliminate yakuza members involved in the illegal drug trade and attempts to shoot Shuho Todoroki, but Reiji needs Shuho alive in order to arrest him, so Reiji stops Masaya by confessing that he has been a mole for their entire friendship.
Shuho is eventually arrested and Masaya continues his crusade against drug-dealing yakuza members. Reiji returns to the police force, while Junna is promoted and becomes his superior.
The film was released in Japan on November 19, 2021.
In a positive review, reviewer Marina D. Richter of asianmoviepulse.com wrote, "Enjoy the soft cooked pasta seasoned by all outwordly ingredients from Takashi Miike's action comedy kitchen, and remember that there are no limits to using whatever songs to the soundtrack of a film if you are convinced enough they would work. [...] May the giant manta ray be with you, and do not miss the opportunity the watch this film should the possibility presents itself!"
Reviewer Ard Vijn of Screen Anarchy wrote, "Miike Takashi's latest is a crude bombardment of slapstick, meaning it's a perfect ending to this particular trilogy. [...] It's all goofy as hell, Miike knows it, and he fully embraces it. [...] Watching these three guys bombing, shooting, kicking and head-butting each other through a multitude of expensive sets while wearing the most amazingly gaudy suits is just very enjoyable."
