6/10
Very dry, but has its redeeming elements.

Jubaku: Spellbound is a dense and dialogue-heavy film that I'll admit, I found hard to follow throughout. It revolves around people in business being typically shady and corrupt, and what happens when a few people who aren't super high within a company decide enough's enough (plus a few news reporters are there to do their part, too).

As far as dense, office-set dramas/thrillers, go, it's alright. I don't think there's much to write home about when it comes to how it was written or shot; that stuff's serviceable. I did enjoy some of the performances here, and the likes of great actors like Koji Yakusho and Tatsuya Nakadai are enough to push Jubaku: Spellbound into decent territory, even if I didn't love it by any means.
