    An extremely AMBITIOUS movie !

    I have to admit that as a foreign film fan (especially japanese) I didn't have high expectations going to this film, but I was very very surprised (pleasantly). Although this film has a very simple plot and story, and it isn't that well known so it can attract you to watch it, once you stumble upon it, you gain 1 hour and 20 minutes of pure entertainment and excitement ! It's one of the few pictures that really capture you from start to finish, I'm not gonna reveal or talk about anything storywise, as the movie is too damn short, just watch it. BUT still it's length is enough to appreciate it and enjoy it. Really captivating and also with great direction by Ikehiro, it's almost perfect in every way possible !
