“I forgot how much I liked this movie. Excellent cinematography seldom satisfies without a cohesive plot e.g. Lost Souls. In addition to both, this beauty has a teen-idol popular in Eastern Asia, a gorgeous lead actress (Mirai Yamamoto–you may have seen her spinning a car laying flat on its side in Jackie Chanu0026#39;s u0026quot;Who Am I?u0026quot;), a strong supporting cast, twists and more twists, the ever great lyrics of Bu0026#39;Z, captivating story-telling methods, intricate character relationships, and realistic bilingualism. And I cannot emphasize how gorgeous the lead actress is.”
