Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

...the plot is predictable and was done hundreds of times; of course most things are done before, but this movie has not a fresh approach about it. Most actors except Inoue san give the impression that fit better on TV series than belong to a movie. Of course we have the effort and the sacrifice for a good cause as a premise. That effort is very well appreciated in Japan, even more if it s done by a group of persons.-The camera work is too cliché even the music at some point is bland.I think there s a fine line between something very good that touch you deep and a weekend afternoon pass time movie. So if you are interested in Cinema, this is not for you; if you have that bag full of pop corn ready and the attention here and there, well, watch it.
