Meitantei Conan Movie 04: Hitomi no Naka no Ansatsusha

On a rainy afternoon, the Detective Boys witness a murder across the street. Barred by traffic, the culprit slips away and Conan Edogawa is left a single clue by a dying detective. Days later, another detective is found murdered in a parking lot, leaving the police rattled. Suspicious that the culprit is one of their own, everyone in the police department without an alibi is suspect. But despite being on high alert, they are outmaneuvered and suffer yet another attack—this time with Ran Mouri finding herself in the crossfire.

Traumatized, Ran wakes in the hospital with retrograde amnesia, remembering nothing about her life. Soon released, she struggles to remember her past and grows fearful of not regaining her memories before being targeted by the killer for what she witnessed. As she is guarded by friends and family, it is up to Conan to piece together the clues and find who the murderer is before they strike again.

Detective Conan Movies Rewatch Before Watching Movie 26: Movie 4

I think one of the strengths of the earlier Conan movies was that the movie presented the case logically and naturally while maintaining suspense and keeping the audience on edge, and similar to Movie 3, Movie 4 did an excellent job in this aspect. The movie began with a serial murder that also hurt those around our main cast, followed up with the eventual stalking/attacks on Ran (which also made the murderer of this movie one of the most threatening ones among DC villains). This was a classic whodunit case similar to Movie 2, though this ... one felt more personal, with the movie constantly showcasing Ran's relationships with those around her, which was great. While movies are not canon, Movie 4 allowed the audience to take a closer look at how the main characters interact in a non-case setting, something DC fans don't really get to see in most canon cases, and the interactions were endearing.

Movie 4 was a fantastic suspense and romance movie overall, and even non-DC fans should have a great time watching it. 9/10

I've seen 750 episodes of the TV Series so the story is kind of familiar, but this movie made a new difference, it may seem like another DC Episode it is indeed not and it's on a new level, at least to me.

And of course, the Art is also on a new level like dang, I was completely fascinated by the art, I like it. And the animation made it more fascinating. I'd wish the art and animation are the same for the TV series.

The sound fx and soundtracks!! The classic Detective Conan soundtracks provide the old yet intense and thrilling vibes to the movie. ... Never gets old. Do you know what never gets old? The Characters. The Characters are the same as usual, cliche, fun and entertaining, and nostalgic.

I did enjoy this movie, it was fun and exciting. Awesome animation and action sequence, emotional and fun scenes. 8/10

Detective Conan: Captured in Her Eyes is often held as a classic among fans for its great characterization and emotional moments. I would argue that this was the first Detective Conan movie to get the format right, as it has more cohesion and consistency than its last film.

A lot of the emotion comes from Ran losing her memories after a traumatic experience with the murderer. The fact that Conan can't do anything as Shinichi to help her is a very cruel thing to undergo. But despite that, Ran is still still just as much her awesome self as she was with her memories. The fact ... that she still chooses to keep a positive outlook after the incident is probably one of my favorite things about her and why I love this movie so much. One of my favorite parts about this movie is the finale in Tropical Land, which is home to some of the most imaginative environments in a Detective Conan movie. Combine that with a well-polished art style and what you have is a movie that's both fun and good to look at.

The movie itself, while interesting, is admittedly kind of slow. Having to wait while Conan plays catch-up with the audience is one of the least exciting moments in the film. Also, the case itself isn't that very interesting to solve, with the first clue about the culprit being heavily reliant on Japanese wordplay. It's very clear that the movie was more focused on Ran's amnesiac experience than the mystery itself. By no means is that a bad thing, as a lot of the emotion comes from everyone dealing with her loss of memories. If you are looking for a movie with a great mystery to solve, this may not be the one for you.

Captured in Her Eyes is one of my favorite Detective Conan movies. While the case itself isn't much to write home about, the fun character moments and polished visuals are what keeps this movie highly rated for me.
