Viewing Notes

This is the movie that I sat thru Mothra II for… and it was worth it. Super stylish crime thriller with some great actors really hamming it up. Love Makoto Sato as a leading man; he’s so under appreciated and rarely utilized well. Kumi Mizuno is just delicious as a heroine. Plenty of fun cameos too. I’d love to own this even if it’s just a grey market DVD. Really happy I stayed up to watch.
