Viewing Notes
Mildly amusing and a solid 6 out of 10 for most of the runtime. The inclusion of Marc Walkow is distracting plus the movie drifts into Noboru Iguchi territory towards the end and doesn’t need to. Turns a good story to pure silliness. It’s fine and if I found it cheap on Blu-ray I’d buy it bc I like these low budget goofy Japanese films.
