User Reviews

Are you really a film critic?

Mike Mizuno: Haruo Mizuno is a pretty famous film critic in Japan. So I expected how he directed to his film with using his film knowledge. However this film is awful though famous actress and famous translator joined it. (Mr.Mizuno is famous, so he has many friends in film field)I really wanna ask him what he has studied about "film". It is because, he didn't consider plot, frame, camera axis. How can Mr.Yamashita solve the accidents just sits down on seat in the train? Moreover some of the actors look absolutely Japanese though they speak in English in the film. In this film is famous as "cult" film in Japan. (Most of this film fan like seriousness of Mike Mizuno in this film though film itself sucks)
