Despite directed by Koji Wakamatsu I had this film on DVD over 10 years before watching it. Being number 6 in the series I figured that it would lack originality, but that was not the case. It was a "perfect education" and much more so than the other three that I have watched so far. The summary gives you a nice introduction and not spoil the story line. I never could guess what happens next. Excellent pacing, editing, performances, music - very nicely done. The actress for the part of Akiko is listed on imdb for only one other film but did remarkably well, and, if it is important for you, you get to see all of her and not just a time or two - you won't be disappointed in either her or the film.
