The adaptation of Mamoru Oshii's "Jin-Roh" of 1999 is quite good, it retains the essence of the original animation film directed by Hiroyuki Okiura. I highly recommend this film for action lovers, asian cinema enthusiats. The movie doesn't deviate that much from a possible reality of a reunified north and south korea. The acting is decent, the effects and suits are quite good and the plot flows smootly until the end. Anyone that has seen the original master piece before would find dissapointement in the last 15 min. The raw and "bestial" ending was changed for a more "humane" one. If they had kept the original ending that preserved the nature of the main quote, I would have easily given it a 9/10.

The idea of filming with the same actors all over those years was nuts, but totally paid up, the characters are completely authentic, the movie y really good but a bit slow, i think it misses something but the objective was completed they showed the life of a boy while growing in a real family environment. The way the characters interact is great i supposed is because of the fact of actually growing with each other all the years of filming, really brought them together not only as a crew but as friends and family , for me thats the secret of this movie , even though this hasn't the best script ever the actors make the movie this good, the truth of their personality.
