This movie however is not a serious movie, if anything, it's just a cute and silly love story. Some people would maybe find it too silly at times, but I like that. The movie I have to say was predictable, but at the same time, still kept my attention with all the jokes and turning which would be a very serious situations fun and cute to watch. The characters were all lovable and the story was super sweet.
I recommend watching this movie when you have nothing to do or in a mood for a good romantic comedy. I watch this movie all the time when I have a couple of hours to spare. Don't watch it, however, if you want a serious, intense love story, that will get you crying and feeling that pain for love. It's not that kind of movie!
So far, all the friends I showed this movie too also really liked it. And of course I never mind re watching it with them.
Enjoy :D

I liked and enjoyed this movie. I like well made action movies and this one did a wonderful job with their action scenes. The scenery was incredible and the story was interesting enough. The characters and depth of the story I felt was lacking a bit of weight, but overall I felt it was all well acted and made.
The movie is 2 hrs+, but I did not feel it. That time is mostly made up with the action. I had honestly never watched a movie in which arrows were central to the story. This movie did an amazing job with it.
I recommend it if you like fast paced action movies, have a couple of hours to spared.

As for the story, of course it is totally extreme, vulgar and shocking, but it was acted out incredibly good, without making fun of any of the really serious subjects and without being laughable.
The characters were thoroughly thought about and there were no stereotypes. There were no "good" and "bad" characters, either.
Of course the acting was great. You must be a great actor to pull off extreme scenes like there were so many in this movie. It must have been really, really hard.
I would recommend everyone who's old enough (well as said before, it IS kind of extreme) to watch this. It is definitely worth it and a masterpiece.

Story for me is outstanding, truly! I never watched story about gang master which decides to become wife, to fulfill last wish of her dying sister. And then all sort of hilarious stuff begin! Seriously I thought I will never stop laughing.
Every character has unique background story, which will make you laugh, cry and excited. I never liked "flying/fighting/scenes" that's way I avoided Asian action movies. There is some flying around in this one, but it did not damaged this movie to me.
Music is nice fit with the story. Sister love is so moving and chemistry between husband and wife OMG! Even a thought of that makes me smile.
Overall it's just great actions comedy which I encouraged you guys to see for yourselves ^^ Have fun.

The acting was very good by the leads but the casting just didnt work for me. Lee Bum Soo was perfect and lovable as always but the Chinese actress who plays the lead wasnt likeable at all. I think it could have worked if they had her speaking Korean when she got to Korea at least instead of speaking Chinese the entire movie. I did like the supporting characters who were apart of LBS's gangster posse.
Overall this movie has a lot to entertain but i wont be watching it again cause i really did not like the main female character at all.

If you like movies about dirty cops go ahead and watch it, you will like it. But if like this kind of movies and you watched a lot of them, this one will not surprised you in the good way.
Acting was great, mine eyes seek only for Joo Won of course ^^ but Uhm Tae Woong stole this movie from him. He was the shining star, actually whole story we see thought his eyes. There is nice chemistry between them, thought mutual goal characters can overcome their differences and finish what their started, fighting for justice. Even if truth isn't always what they want it to be.
Music good, whole instrumental gave me nice vibe thought the story. Great fit with the scenes.
Movie worth watching because of the actors, nice action movie with cool lines and even few funny moments.

I thought the acting was really good and I was invested in the the 3 main characters. I wanted to follow thier stories and know more about their pasts. Surprisingly enough the character who stood out the most was Chen Fei's dead lover who had only flash back scenes. Chris Wu did a great job of making that small role that he had stand out.
There are 2 love lines in this but none developed by the end which made me disappointed. Because of the ending i dont really have an interest in watching this again.
Overall Miao Miao is watchable because its very short and the acting is very good but it wont be a movie you'll remember.

Although Lee Jun Ki and Aoi Miyazaki (a favorite korean actor and japanese actress of mine) were the main characters it still didn't make into my MUST watch and recommended movies.
The story was more in the line of innocent love, or love at first sight and has many sweet moments. A girl would love to be treated like how Jun Ki treated Aoi here. It was just so sweet... but then again the character build up was slow (although amazingly it doesn't have TOO many draggy moments as i have expected it to be) and the whole story lacked a bit more heart clenching moments as it should have.
The music was well done as both Japanese and Korean musicians incorporated their scores through out the film, it had a great outcome. It's one of the things that perked me up in this movie. Then add the cinematography in it, the movie simple became more than bearable. The colorful views and touches in clothes, back drops and even the things that they hold... it was pure pleasure to watch. Seeing Korea and Japan in one movie is simply adorable.

For a non-Masami fan like me, this movie changed my whole opinion of her. I'm still not a fan, but I loved the way she acted here. It was a very heartfelt one and moved me to tears. Takayuki Yamada who was her co-star in the film was good, although not good looking like some Japanese actors I know, he had the charisma or an actor to let his viewers make them watch more and not get bored. Also Takashi Tsukamoto showed up in this film. I was racking my brains what movie I've seen him before, then it dawned on to me that it was Taiyou no Uta. His character there was a high school kid and they made him look so young, while in this movie he was so mature looking and hotter nonetheless.
Well back to the movie, the plot line was very interesting and surprising even with its little flash backs it didn't sway away from the whole story. Although there's this one glitch that itched on me, it was the disease that the main character had. It was a made up disease. They didn't even name it, so it seemed so unrealistic. This didn't make me dislike the movie though, it was still a creative thinking in a way. That's why I wouldn't take that simple observation as a count out of the rating I made. It made me cry the whole time and how my heart felt after finishing the movie. My tears was all worth it because the ending was much to my likeness.

The film was really violent, but not in the violent notorious way. It was rather light for a violent film and with some comedic touches on the sidelines which wasn't really out of place. The graphics and effects were great. The setting, music, plot… especially the cast was perfect. I wouldn't want anyone else to be casted on this film.
Definitely Oguri Shun has rocked this film!
I am an Oguri Shun fan but I'm not rating this for being biased, the rating for me fits the whole movie because it was THAT COOL.

The film was a bit draggy, but a couple of indie film lovers would probably like this. The cinematography was quite nice for a low budgeted film but nevertheless the cast were big timers which was unexpected.
I loved Aoi's role here as Suzuko, she made the character much realistic. Her features would show a calm girl on the outside but could burst like a bubble any moment. The younger brother Satoru was a good supporting actor and made Suzuko's role much more stronger because of him.
The main character Suzuko, skipped from town to town, changing places as soon as she saves up 1 million yen, professing that she's really not finding herself but instead running away from circumstances that lead from one thing to another. In the end, love crept on to her and she had no way to shrug it off but basically, the story revolved around Suzuko skipping towns, meeting new people and her younger brother whom she left behind, trying to be strong against the bullies in his school.
There was only this thing that confused me in the end. Her dialogue at the ending sort of put my understanding for last 1/3 part of the film. I think the director or script writer intended that to confuse their viewers to make their own conclusions. Which I usually tend to hate because it means its one of those cliff hangers again.
Soundtrack wise, the ending was cute. Reminded me of Synesthezia's ending theme song which was just perfect. There wasn't much dialogue in it that would be very memorable, except for the one where the main character had a conversation with her brother and at the ending part where some sort of confusing revelation/not was given.
Over all the film give an impact but wasn't as enjoyable as I thought it would be.

So who was the best example in the film to show how a real man should act? It was Genji's father. Damn! I so love the old man.
Rival gangs are always not my cup of tea when watching violent movies but CROW ZERO II worked on me. BIG TIME. There was still a lot comparison from the first movie and so many differences, yet it still worked. It was still as good as CROWS ZERO I can get. If not the best it is really GOOD. Oguri Shun still got to me that he now holds a real special place in my heart. His character as Genji-san shall never be forgotten.
The soundtrack was perfect even for the fighting scenes. I love how they have incorporated the music in crucial moments. That's one thing that I love with Japanese films, they use the music in the right moments.
Although there was a tiny speck of dust that I didn’t like in the film, it still made me understand that without it the whole new story for CZ II will not start. So I am letting that go.

If you have only 24 hours to live, what will you do with your remaining hours?
If death comes knocking at your door step, what would you do?
The main character, Kengo Fujimoto (Shota) was one of the "Ikigami" bearers. An Ikigami is a notice, sent by a messenger to the person who only has 24 hours to live as issued by the government. This law was done to prosper the country by lowering crime, death rate and increasing productiveness. It was meant to sacrifice a handful of innocent or not so innocent people, but nonetheless, these people are picked randomly, given an Ikigami notice then die after 24 hours through a capsule that was injected to the citizens during the preschool age acting as a time bomb. The story revolves around the people that Kengo gives the notices to, he somehow ends up following these people and disregard his agency's rules.
With a scene starting off with a violent act, the ending was pretty much unexpected. It was beyond my imagination that Ikigami would turn out like this. The film should be watched by many to learn more about the essence of life and living.
I love the soundtrack, the story line, the actors, everything about the film was great. The flow of the story was very simple and yet it leaves you thinking at the same time. For the theme song entitled SIGNPOST which was also sang in one of the scenes of the movie was incredible. The thought and lyrics of the song was something that has to be listened to carefully (or read in our part for those who can't understand Japanese).
