kairo and or pulse a it know amongst english speaking audience and be set in tokyo and start a sunny plant sale employee michi kudo ( kumiko aso ) decide to visit her friend taguchi ( kenji mizuhashi ) to enquire about a computer disk he be work on and when she get to his place he give her the disk but then rather inconsiderately commits suicide in front of her . meanwhile a student name ryosuke kawashima ( haruhiko kato ) have recently hook up to the internet and keep get spooky message and image on his monitor so he ask computer whizz harue karasawa ( koyuki ) whats happen and she doesn not really know but it seem that the place where people spirit go when they die be full and they need somewhere else to go and earth be as good a place a any and right . these spirit do not like share either so they sort of make people commit suicide or turn them into ash or something like that and i do not really know because the film a bit of a mess . this japanese production be write and direct by kiyoshi kurosawa and right off the bat i have to say i hat kairo and i hat everything about it and it prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that asian cinema can produce something as crap a any american filmmaker . the script be an overlong mess and the thing simply doesn not make any sense with scene which seem like they be from a different film and sequence which make no logical sense or be not explain in any way and kairo be also the most downright boring film i have sit through this year . at two hour long this be a real chore to sit through and i really want to fast forward it but i be fair if nothing else so i stick it out to the bitter end and frankly wish i hadn not . there be so many thing wrong with kairo and i suppose the filmmaker be go for a surreal ambiguous and deliberately incoherent feel but those be trait which i despise in a film unless they be do properly . then there the whole internet thing which i just couldn not relate to at all and i use the internet all day and it not in the least bit scary to me in any way . then there the fact that kairo a a film provide zero entertainment value for me and maybe i be a neanderthal but i kind of like the film i watch to entertain me and make some sort of sense and not bore me to death . director kurosawa have make the ultimate insomnia cure as far a i be concern and if you have trouble get to sleep stick this in the dvd and you be fast asleep within 10 minute i guarantee you . i do not think kairo be scary in the slightest and the whole internet thing be laughable and a for scary you should see some of the penis enlargement pop up ad i get and now that scary . i hate this film and i hate this film and i be sorry i just need to make that basic point again and twice . forget about any action and tension or gore a there isn not any . if you have a very nervous disposition then there be maybe a couple of scene which might creep you out otherwise this be kiddie friendly pg rat stuff all the way . urgh . the film look so dull and bore it untrue and the camera just sit there for very long shot and when it do move it move very slowly and this have all the style of a mexican soap opera . since kairo be sub title it difficult to judge the original performance so i would not bother and it hard to care for someone when they do not even speak the same language and you do not know what they be say . kairo be crap and i hat it and it as simple and straight forward a that . just because it an asian flick doesn not automatically make it any good and the mess of a story and the plot hole and the fact it make no sense and it an absolute bore mean kairo would rightly be tear to shred by people if it be an american production . the bad film i have see this year by some distance . kairo get a hollywood remake a pulse ( 2006 ) .
