Nobuyuki Fukumoto does not quite click

Nobuyuki Fukumoto was the thing I kept watching in Ten: Akagi Shigeru Funeral Arc (2019). It feels like the role needed another layer that never quite showed up. It never really locked in for me. I kept waiting for a more specific angle on the character. The performance does the job, but not much more than that. I can see someone else being kinder to it, but I did not fully get there.
