Our take
A blood-soaked descent into the shadowy underworld of Tokyo, Tetsuya Nakashima’s time-jumping parable is splattered with carnality and violence. In a world where youthful innocence exists only to be corrupted, Kôji Yakusho (Cure) excels in the role of a guilt-stricken father chasing after a mirage.
