i have have never be disappoint by a kurosawa film and but this be probably the first . doppelganger be the bad i have see from this director . tartan film be advertise this a the most frightening film yet from kiyoshi kurosawa . what . the most frightening film from kurosawa be definitely kairo . and if you think this be horror and your in for a surprise . this can not be classify a horror and or thriller . this be a drama and and a pretty bad one at that . a lot of scene that be mean to be shock have turn out be funny and and a lot of the plot be really confusing . and since it kurosawa and the pacing be slow . but it so slow that you will lose interest forty minute in and and feel like do something else . the thing that annoy me the most be the use of cgi . now cgi and if use well and can be really cool . but if execute with little care . it can be a disaster . i think that describe one scene here that have a very minimal use of cgi . the only positive thing i can give dopppelganger be that it have really good acting . koji yakusho give a great performance and along with the rest of the cast . but that pretty much it . please and do yourself a favor and and go watch kairo or ko rei if you want to be scar . this be a bad and bad attempt at a smart drama . which it be intelligent and but . well and there a lot miss . negative for the good acting .
