Most helpful review Chaos

  • Excellent film noir

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Very very clever film, gripping. You have to pay real close attention to everything, especially in first fifteen minutes, as it helps to understand the very confusing story. Don't worry, you're MEANT to be confused. And you're also MEANT to understand everything by the end. There are some things however that take a lot of working out, but in the end it all fell into place making this one of the best Japanese films I've seen (although Nobody Knows was perhaps a touch better). Certainly the best Nakata, by a mile. I dread to think how Hollywood will butcher this with Robert de Niro and Benicio del Toro next year. I wish they'd think up some of their own ideas. Although at least Jonathan 'Sexy Beast' Glazer is directing, so it shouldn't be as bad as some remakes!

    Handyman with his own trade, broken marriage and bullied son is approached by woman for whom he did plumbing job once, except she now is someone else. She is wife of wealthy businessman and asks him to kidnap her, under false pretenses. Embroiled in web of deceit, murder and greed he fumbles to cliffhanger (kind of) ending.

    This was a very unusual and tensely shot thriller, u7ntil the final scene there was no idea how it would end, great acting and excellent scenario. Highly recommended....
