Loved the plot in this movie and the twists and turns that leave you guessing until the very end. If you don't like subtitles, I would suggest that you don't watch it, but if your love something a little different (e.g Purfumer)- this is the movie for you.
The director uses some very clever shots, and the overall dark theme is very well conveyed through gloomy lighting effects.
The characters are realistic and the subject matter of life after death is usually not dealt with in such a scientific sort of way in the vain of Flatliners. One of the main characters is dealing with the impending death of his mother while being engaged in this great adventure and learns through his experience to find peace.
In summary - A+ entertainment with a bit of a scare that has a deeper meaning. Enjoy :o)
