even though the book wasn not strictly accurate to the real situation it describe it still carry a sense of japan . i find it hard to believe that anyone who be involve in make this film have ever be to japan a it do not feel japanese in the slightest . almost everything about it be terrible . i will admit the actor be generally quite good but couldn not stand a chance of save it . before the film start i be surprise that there be only ten people in the cinema on a friday night shortly after the movie have open in japan . 30 minute in i be amaze they stay . i stay so i would have the right to criticize it . the whole movie be punctuate my groan and suppress laugh of disbelief from my japanese girlfriend . everyone i saw walk out of that cinema have look of confusion and disappointment on their face . to the maker of this movie and you owe me two hour .
