Japan Railway Journal Audience Reviews

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
