TAIKETSU has some of the falsest advertising I've ever seen for a film. It's continually described as an action film, but in fact it's a tiny budgeted indie sci-fi story set in a single location for the most part. Dialogue makes up 90% of the running time, and it's mostly talking head footage between two or three central characters. Mainly this is an exploration of sci-fi themes and ideas borrowed from Hollywood, with laid back performances throughout. The photography is disguised with various filters to give things a soft blue tinted look. It's more than a little dull.
