7/10
better than some would have you believe
29 June 2005
I rented this film on a bit of a whim, without having ever heard of it before, or at least not enough for me to have any early impressions. All I knew about it was from the blurb on the back of the DVD case, and based on that I thought it was pretty decent. It was certainly not the best movie I've ever seen - the movie certainly aimed to raise the hair on the back of your neck, get your adrenaline pumping, but the ending was a little boring. The Angela storyline was resolved nicely, but the mystery of the movie, the main driving force I guess, but the film was shot nicely and well thought out. I don't think it was made to be "about" Tokyo, but rather a group of young women living and working in Tokyo. I agree with the other reviewer that it could have taken place anywhere, but I don't think that makes the whole movie terrible. At any rate, I enjoyed it.
