The future prison looks fantastic, the concept is rocksolid, and yet in Ryuhei Kitamura’s second feature, something goes wrong in the execution.

It's a shame that a small action film with such a talented cast and interesting set-up ends up being dragged down by excessive exposition and languid pacing

Rated: 3/5

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii am not so sure what to give this - because i really like how the story started the general gist of everything; but it was maybe a little too sci-fi-ish and more funny/ridiculous than awesome/fantastic -- obviously i would've preferred the latter.

Slower paced than alot of Kitamura's other films, like Versus, but there's a big payoff in the conclusion.

Adaptation d'un manga (que je n'ai pas lu) plutot molle, effets speciaux pas folichons. Huis clos correct.

Not the greatest action movie out of tokyo. The look and feel of the movie was the most appealling to me.

Cube meets the Matrix with space ghosts, minus most of the win.
