Fantastic film - see it!, 23 October 2006
10/10
Author: dazsly from United Kingdom

As the title, get this film on DVD its amazingly powerful. what a breath of fresh air, instead of the run of the mill rubbish that comes out from America!! Great acting and story!

I cannot speak Japanese but the subtitles do not detract at all from the film.

You may need to watch it a couple of times to get the plot line as it goes back and forth.

This should of been released in the UK although I looked for it but never found it in shops.

I went to Japan on holiday and specifically looked for this DVD based on the cover, when I get an eye for a movie I'm usually right that I would like it.
