Forget what you know about old manga's/anime's being made into movies. We all know that nothing is quite as good, but this movie breaks the status quo. This movie is quickly paced, an 'easy watch' so to say, has sort of a "dark humor" vibe to it, but is definitely brain food. Leaves you questioning most of the time, and when you think you've got it figured out... I'll leave it to you. Another Gantz sums the end up better for viewers, but leaves out some of the most crucial parts of the story line. I suggest you watch this version of Gantz, then just watch the last 11 minutes of Another Gantz. Besides, Anything with Kazunari Ninomiya is worth your while.

Unlike the previous reviewer, I didn't expect anything from this film. I didn't know anything about it. I disclose this because it may have influenced how I experienced the unfolding of the plot.





I enjoyed the story. It's a combination Liar Game (Japanese drama) and 1984 (George Orwell). A secret world unfolds as a people are pitted against one another. I didn't find the the story to be predictable, but there was a slow part in the middle that made me want to fast-forward.





Generally, the main actors all over acted with the exception of Yuki Amami. Lots of screaming, crying, banging of fists, etc. This was the major downfall of the film in my opinion. I debated giving it a 4 or 5. However, I decided on 5 because the overacting did not inhibit my ability to enjoy the film, and I generally think that Japanese actors tend to overact.





The music was nice. It fit the feel of the movie. There were definitely some songs I will look up.





Overall, it's an enjoyable movie, but not a "must see before you die" film. People who liked Liar Game or The Quiz Show will probably like this movie.

Well, Ha Ji Won is what drew me to watching this film and, uh, not one of her finer moments. She's definitely grown a lot in her acting skills over the years.



The story is ordinary and dull. The flow is awkward. The romance...I'm still not sure why either fell in love with the other since both characters were quite obnoxious. Maybe they deserved each other? For a 90 minute rom-com, I didn't expect much beyond some light entertainment. But I didn't get much enjoyment out of it. This movie seemed to be haphazardly thrown together and shoved out the door to make a few quick bucks.



I gave it a 4 because it's not completely horrid (the elevator scene even approached being hilarious) and it IS "watchable". Barely.

Ok so the 1st movie was much better than this 1, but it was still funny. I hope others enjoy this story b/c it is worth watching. Jong-man was kinda a dork & I don't know what kind of ppl box in Korea but he was like a super light weight. How did he even lift the boxing gloves up w/ those skinny ass arms. I could have broke him in half like a tooth pick he was so scrawny. Neways! I liked the story & Junko was cutness herself. The music was not bad, but yet again I never notice it unless it sux. I thought this was good enough for a 1st watch, but I prolly won't watch it again netime soon. There really isn't nething about it that really stood out to me, except all the dirty language & innuendos. But I can get that just from watching regular TV here in the US. Nothing new, just have not really seen it in many drama's or films made in Korea.

I watch this movie a few days ago. I thought it was amazing!! I love a good revenge movie~! (And trust me...after seeing what this villain does...you'll want to jump in the movie and kill him yourself!) The action scenes are GREAT!! Especially towards the end...and it had what many would call a "bow-tie" ending. So, If you like Koreans, action, revenge, a little mystery & suspense....WATCH THIS. But I warn you...The only reason I couldn't give this movie a 10/10 is because the graphics are "Saw" level and made my stomach turn...I had to look away a few times...soooo i guess you'll have to like gory movies as well...LOL

I absolutely LOVED this whole series of the Liar Game and usually I'm not the type to watch these types of dramas but really, the Liar Game is an awesome drama and movie that I reccomend to anyone. First of all, the story is unique, I'm sure you won't find a movie/drama as suspenseful as this! I loved the cast choose also- Toda Erika played "Naive Nao" very well, and I don't think there could have been a better (or sexier) Akiyama other than Matsuda Shota ;) The music added to the suspense and kept you on the edge of your seat. I will definitely watch this series over multiple times in the future :D The Liar Game also served a purpose- To Beat "Human Greed," and in the end they were successful. Oh yea, and another thing, even though this wasn't a romance I was hoping in the very end Akiyama would confess (even though I knew it wouldn't happen) but what he said in the end was close enough for me :)One piece of advice-WATCH THE LIAR GAME!!!

Don't expect to enjoy this unless you are a Cassie. It has quite the thin, holey plotline, makes very little sense, and is all around a bit silly. However, the cast of course is very nice to look at and if you already love DBSK then you will enjoy spending a little over an hour ogling and laughing at/with them. The acting is not terrible so much as the story is poorly constructed, so it is not horribly painful to watch (the strongest actors of DBSK get the lead roles, so that helps) but don't expect the feeling of "what a great movie!" after watching so much as "that was kind of amusing!" The best part, without a doubt, is definitely that the OST is 100% DBSK :) And of course, no matter how their acting skills may be, no one can deny their superior musical talent, so that is definitely a plus.



Overall, this was not -so- bad, and it was an entertaining way to waste some time, but unless you are a diehard Cassie or are just curious about DBSK, there are probably better things to watch out there.
