    What Price survival

    A Novel Idea for a film however it does get confusing in parts as many of the Actors look similar, also in parts the Ghost of a woman appears and you are left confused as to whether she is real or dead..... The whole film could have been better as the storyline kept going back on itself, in the way of two men and one woman, two men who both loved the same woman. Entertaining all the same & a clean film with good fight scenes! Interesting start, Good ending. The bit in the Middle wasnt half bad either. All in all if you compare this to Allot of Japanese Films I tended to watch, you come out feeling less dazed & estranged. It would be I believe a good film to stay in and watch but you have to concentrate so you need to leave the drink in the fridge. Subtitles are easy to read, however it is funny to actually see that the Actors mouths move at different speeds to the words they are saying, so slightly out of timing. But better than watching a Dubbed Film.
