Viewing Notes

Added on Prime and dubbed so I wanted to give it another spin before the Korean version arrives. I don’t think the DVD I own has the English dub since it was produced before it got released in the states. The dubbed version provides a better grasp of this story. Not that it was hard to follow in Japanese but understanding who was behind what and how these factions worked.

Still a pretty good movie that is more drama driven than action but the story is solid. Very curious how the Korean version will play out.
