I love Amami, she's so pretty & talented. I was worried for her when I found out that she had suffer a heart attack & was admitted to hospital, but thankfully she's ok now. I read an article a few days back stating that she has been discharged from the hospital.

I have added this film to me to-watch list now! I've always been interested in this film ever since I read the synopsis, but now I want to watch it even more.

Posted in: Miike's action film gets booed at Cannes See in context
wow, so much exaggerated stereotype of Japanese shows here, seriously I can't even...
@John Master: I disagree, I think some of the Japanese action movies I have seen are much better than some of the ones from Hollywood I've seen. But to each their own I suppose.
Anyway, as for this movie...I don't know if I'd watch it...I mean, I do like some of Miike's previous movies, like 'Sukiyaki Western Django', the 'Crows Zero' movies, 'Futoh; the next Generation', and his 2012 movie 'Aku no Kyoten' starring Ito Hideaki. But his movies I do not like far outweights those I do like...so I don't know, I guess I'll need some time to decide. Miike have always had a reputation for pushing the boundries when it comes to his filmmaking, and his movies are not for everyone. I'll need to read more reviews about this movie before I decide. I do like Matsushima Nanako though, so I MIGHT end up watching it for her.
