I had the misfortune of seeing this at a friend's movie night. It came highly recommended from one or two of the guys as a lesser-known but good Japanese film.
After about 20 minutes I started checking my watch and by the end had already volunteered to do the washing up. If this movie has a point, then clearly I need someone to explain it for me. There is no discernible plot line, it suffers from clichéd direction, the acting is awful and the effects are as cheap looking as early-eighties straight to video horrors.
The whole film is an excuse to show Japanese girls in really small skirts with the added bonus of having high-school children shoot at and kill each other. It borders on pedophillic (working on the presumption the cast were all over 18, if not then it would be pedophillic), uses over-the-top, bad effects and serves absolutely no purpose as a social commentary or even has one iota of entertainment value.
It is just plain sick.
