a great film . every moment masterfully conduct by toyoda and his crew . the actor give credible performance all around . the visuals be haunt and beautiful and sometimes hauntingly beautiful shot of the japanese country and city landscape . the sound and courtesy of japanese band dig and be never overly edgy a one would expect from band make soundtrack . it strangely atmospheric and well suit to the scene theyre on . all in all and they work everything out perfectly . well and if they be to give any justice to the story and perfection be the only thing anyone could have accept . the real greatness of 9 soul be the compelling story . the prison break movie maybe something of a lost genre these day and and road trip movie lose it appeal due to the way the world be get small . but this story easily mix something fresh to those two genre . 9 convict be give freedom and possibly the opportunity to regain their place in society . will society accept them . will they be truly free of their dark past . and can they stick together long enough to stay alive and find out . each convict have an interesting history . their crime be as vary a their apparent fate . a sense of brotherhood among them keep the story high on drama and supply it with hilariously comedic situation . and due to the nature of their background and violence be always something wait to happen . after all that and all i can say be go give it a watch .
