A beautiful pianist comes to Tokyo for a charity concert - and City Hunter is there. But music isn't his forte. He wants lessons in the language of love. Desperation is the word as bodies start dropping. A foreign dignitary is assassinated in cold blood. Secret agents scour the streets for a missing microchip. And diplomatic infighting swirls around the upcoming concert until Nina the pianist and her grandfather Klaus are kidnapped. A maelstrom of exploding grenades, the rumble of Falcon's jeep, and the tinkling of the ivories all set the stage for City Hunter: . 357 Magnum. The show must go on!

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
First animated Movie based in the City Hunter Manga and anime. Praised by the critics and loved by the fans , this movie is a marvelous action comedy with a great script that leads to a very exciting climax ,all of this accompanied by a gorgeous soundtrack that raises the dramatic moments in the key scenes of the film.The Movie keeps all the essence of the original show and fits Perfectly in the City Hunter universe bringing the best from it in larger scale and introducing a very interesting plot in which Ryo and the rest of original characters take part AWESOME MOVIE , Love it
City Hunter: "A Magnum of Love and Destiny" is without a doubt the greatest City Hunter movie as well as the greatest anime movie of all time. Although City Hunter has that stereotype as a comedy anime of many sorts and it is, there are often many deeper issues presented that are not often seen. In this movie, Ryo Saeba is hired by Nina Steinberg, a genius pianist who has come to Japan to look for her father because her mother who died many years before told her that he was in fact still alive before she passed away. Now enter Nina's Grandfather who for some reason is trying to convince Nina that her father is dead. Add to that mix the search for an information spy's hidden microchip and you have a tightly wound story. In the movie we can understand Ryos relationships with his clients as well as his partner Kaori Makimura whom he loves but shows opposite feelings for her safety because of the business he is in as a "sweeper", not necessarily a private eye as most are lead to believe.The soundtrack is first-rate with an excellent piano score that is very moving during the climax of the movie. The animation is also top-notch dating back to 1988 and came out between City Hunter's 2nd and 3rd TV seasons (4 is all, 140 episodes total). I wont reveal any more of the plot, but be aware that this is NOT just a comedy and with most City Hunter movies shows some kind of deeper meaning to our relationships as people. A must see. 10 out of 10!
