Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler

*The film is underrated.

-The film is about poor people playing a game to change their lives. Those who fail will be brought to the ground as slaves.

• The squid game movie takes a few ideas from this movie : People who need money to play the game, Game across the bridge , Game for balls instead of cards ,An old uncle is a teammate ,Get the main thing meet an old acquaintance ,....
• The film is really emotional than "Squid game" . I don't know why the movie "squid game" is more appreciated than this movie.

Generally adaptations from medium to medium in the world of film (i.e video game crossovers, remakes of older movies, cartoon remakes) are poor quality. As the original material adapts to its new format it becomes diluted. The work of the original creator is generally mangled to the point of no return.

This film is a prime example.

As far as some of the reviewers above who have made presumptions of Japanese culture portrayed in the film, stating that Japanese people don't 'act' like the characters portrayed in the film, are making ignorant remarks. The original piece of work (either the anime series or the manga) is a psychological thriller, with great attempts made at in-depth analysis of the thought processes of the characters. The commentary made on the greed of society as a whole is invoking.

Bottom Line: Watch the anime if psychological thrillers are up your alley, its not drawn in typical cheesy anime style, nor is it cliché! Don't watch this film unless you have seen the anime, it will probably be a horrid experience! I recommend both Kaiji and the creator's earlier manga/anime Akagi. Both are extraordinary pieces of work in the otherwise cliché and worn out world of Japanese Animated television series.

Kaiji is an awesome movie. It shown how to play Jan-Ken-Pon (Rock- Paper-Scissors) in Japan which very popular games. Which under the debt pressure, he join the other play in Espoir ship (means Hope in French). This is where he lost, work underground as slave, pay with underground money called Peria, and challenge to join Brave Road (to survive and return above ground).

When he made an final, he should play card with Tonegawa. Play E-Card (Emperor-Slave-Citizen) to win his freedom and clearing his debt. He lost because of Tonegawa using cheap trick. Using Chip that control and know the users heartbeat, but he lost cause Kaiji too excited winning the last round and make Tonegawa fallen on his own trick.

Whate can I watch it I have been trying to watch it every where in sub English so can someone pleas help me find it english sub i heard its really good so I want to watch it I can only find it Japanes raw bud.

After watching the first and second season of the anime i have watched this wonderful movie, the movie is not epic as the manga, but it was pretty good, it's very difficult to make a 2 hours movie from one season, but the actors were very impressive, i was very excited from the beginning of the movie until the end, if you didn't watch the anime , trust me you're missing a lot!
