Comments

  1. Emma: sounds like a fresh take on the kurosawa classic; how much input did sabu's leads have in the project?
  2. Elin: loved the way he poked fun at traditional Japanese noir tropes - that 'High and Low' nod was a clever move
  3. Norakaur: apparently this is his first time shooting outside japan since yojimbo. that's a significant change for someone like sabu who usually sticks so closely to the master's style
  4. Static Rune: invigorated by shooting outside Japan? Really? It's just Taipei not Tokyo
  5. Dusk Vesper: Sounds like a messy homage to Kurosawa's classic, love where they took the idea though
  6. Ruby: Kurosawa influence is evident, but I prefer the tone of his original more
  7. Leorossixo: reminds me more of a mid-budget Jackie Chan flick than Kurosawa
  8. Ranamaya: Sabu's done it again somehow - always the unexpected tonal shift
  9. Selim: never understood why he felt the need to set it in Taiwan - just wouldn't have changed much for me
  10. Null Raven: what a perfect setup for a thriller, but the amnesiac cop twist really threw me off
