It's a bit moronic if u give it a thought! And illogical at best!

SPOILERS ALERT!

Idiotic Intelligence Bureau, they know everything about the guy they want to catch, but nothing. Especially they know what the guy looks like, WTF! The freaking thing is they pretend that the guy doesn't exit, that certainly won't help catching the guy!

The silly thing about everything of that guy is wiped, but then there are stinky little bread crumbs everywhere. And the so-called hidden mold in the Bureau, it's kind of obvious! May be not at first, but if they use a bit of their brain and so some investigation, like on the murder of Agnes.

If u look again at the "attack" in the subway, it's LOL! The poison milk gas would not be released under most circumstances, that scene is "funny"!

The final twist!? Why would the guy shown up for some so-called computer files? It's not like the Unintelligence Bureau is gonna catch him anyhow. Simply, he has nothing to lose if he stay away!

The "worst", why the heck would that assassin run away, he's the only one that got a gun. Not once he tried to shoot the chaser, well, the story drags on!

1 star because of the overrated votes...

After the not so interesting start, I've actually split this 130min flick into 20min episodes.

Hoping I will eventually see the potentials of it, but Miike, what a disappointment.

Why base on a manga if it's no fun, boring, with crappy fight scenes.

The worst is I can't believe some people actually compare it with Fight Club. What an insult!!

I guess those people just love to see those young men screams at the last fight scene.

If this crap is 6.9/10 in IMDb, then Fight Club would be at least 898/10, period.

Well, I did not suppose to type anything for this one, I thought it was good enough and others should watch and feel it themselves. But after a night of sleep, I suddenly realize that Hollywood has probably made some "stupid" changes on this so-called "True Story".

Spoiler: In the end about this "hope" and all, and how the woman never stop looking for her son Walter... The thing is, according to this flick, there's still a boy who knew what really happen to Walter. May be she's too lost to be aware of that, but the lawyer or the cop should know that pretty well!!

So what did really happen?

I was happy when Afro was killed at the end in this one, which is probably a better ending imho! It actually makes me think "Good, there won't be a third, cause Afro is dead!". But like the title, he has to be resurrected too... This one is such a drag, the theme of hatred and revenge is no fun when guilt has a part. Or the silly conscience that suddenly comes back from a "brain dead" droid, though creating another tragic feeling of "my time is wasted".

In a psychology point of view, this one does fit its original intend, a TV movie. With all the silly ads u have to watch in between, you may want to think more about your life, how educational!! Watch the Afro Samura (DC, the movie, 2007) by all mean!! But this one, u may as well take a dump while watching... now i wish i have a psp!!

This one is probably as worst as "Vantage Point"! Some scenes' setups are unbelievably stupid!! Actually all the bomb scenes are stupid.

1st bomb scene: "remote detonation(!!)", the bomber just has to show his face, and to detonate the bomb when the bomb disposal specialist is walking away.

2nd bomb scene: 1+7 bombs, kinda in middle of a T-junction of residential area, half abandoned. Bomber is observing on few floors up of the building facing the T-junction. Once the specialist find all the bombs, the bomber starts to walk down stairs in a mini-fast pace. Specialist starts to disarm the bombs (one by one?), bomber keeps walking downstairs. The specialist is done and find a wire that lead to the side of the building, where the wire can be connected by a battery and detonate the bombs. The bomber walks out of the building, walk along the building, stops in front of the specialist for half a minute, specialist holds up the fuse he disarmed from a bomb, the bomber walks away.

Let's pause here, 1st scene, one bomb, powerful enough to destroy a small building. 2nd scene, 8 bombs, and has to detonate about 10-12 meters away, with a battery!!

LOL!

3rd bomb scenes: 6-7 bombs in a car trunk, car parked funny next to a UN building. UN building, guarded, how can that happen!? Bomber, shoot the car from roof of a building not far. Car bursts in flame, specialist distinguishes the fire, once done, he tries to find the initiating system of the bombs...

Sniper scene, most stupid, which I'm not gonna waste any more time typing it up...

...

I'll be honest here, I haven't finish watching the whole movie. Not that I don't want to, it's just getting really boring. There's no suspense whatsoever till 41 minutes, cause there's where I stopped!!

Compare to "The Orphanage", "The Others" is actually a far better movie. For those who give "Orfanato, El" 7 out 10, please go watch "The Others", it will blow your mind and "Orfanato, El" off.

Now I will tell you why I stopped around 40 minutes of this scenery movie. Around 35 minutes, there's the strange big noise scene ended with an old doll on Simon's bed. Well, it's funny that the husband is right downstairs and heard nothing, until his wife screams. But It's more funny on his facial expression :"Woman, what's it this time? Haven't u got anything better to do than screaming?" Then at 41 minutes, it's 6 months later. Well, I guess the writer needed 6 months of fresh air too, so do I.

***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** zTagline: there are brave hearts but not the "Braveheart"...

It has good of its own, but don't compare it with "Braveheart". Braveheart does has much much more to offer. However Bang-Rajan is just war and survival, it may have something else but definitely not deep enough to deliver!! An disappointment if compare to Braveheart.

Battle scenes are still "not-bad", a bit messy. Not as powerful, just chops & slashes. The camera angles are jumpy too. Nonetheless, i think they have done a serious job. Good enough for its own name.

***spoilerz***...till the last, even women will go to fight... There's a scene in the last battle i thought which COULD BE the very and the most powerful scene in the movie was when E Taeng Aon got shot on her chest, fell to the arm of her man, both wounded badly. As he was holding her close, also tried desperately to fought off the enemies around them, just sadly powerful. BUT the next second, where the disappointment came, camera changed to he was looking at her, dying, dead, he screamed her name!! That took a total of 10 seconds till he got a fatal sword slash on his back, he died. Personally, i think the 1st part is perfect, but the last part is just there to destroy the 1st, totally wasted. It could have been done in a much much better way, sadly wasted...
