Violent Sci-fi Japanese

I was very thrilled, when i saw this Sci-fi Japanese flick,this one´s good a little bit like John Mc Naughtons Borrower,this one´s more violent and has nothing off the Glam that uses to take place in most H.K movies This one really delivers,the opening scene, where some one has taken a persons brain,is really a grotesque one,I saw the H.K dvd that had a running time off 132 mins,that one´s gotta be uncut. It´s well and fast paced Sci-fi,thriller drama,a combination of like mentioned earlier:The borrower and the excellent, Seven. Enjoy and lean backwards.
