Right, I had to write a review after seeing that the main reviews were mostly negative. I was skeptical of this movie because the anime became too complex and confusing for me after only 4 episodes (I ended up dropping it), but this movie was really well-done and I'm gonna tell you why. Story: This movie emphasized the concept of greed and social hierarchy extremely well. The people with less money had less power and were always cheated whilst the big dogs at the top got away scot free. Watching the 'slaves' having to jump through more and more hoops to escape their fate was frustrating, and I found myself getting really involved in the story-line. I take my hat off to everyone who made this movie possible. Acting/Cast: When I saw that Fujiwara Tatsuya was was going to be the protagonist of another movie, I was extremely interested to see how he'd do (loved him in Battle Royale, was iffy about him in Death Note), but I wasn't disappointed. The rest of the cast also get my vote for good acting. In one review, someone said that there was a bit of over-acting but come on, if your LIFE was on the line and you were in a seemingly hopeless situation, you'd be going crazy too, so over-acting was not an issue for me; their pain was realistic. Music: Typical suspense music in all the right places, I wasn't paying too much attention to it to be honest, I was too busy getting caught up in the drama. Overall: Simply brilliant. A great, cunning movie that left me on the edge of my seat. I am someone who easily gets bored and not once did i want this movie to hurry up and end. Exceeded my expectations completely.
