Member Rating:  
Two men imprisoned for seperate murders find their fates mortally intertwined in cult director Takashi Miike's homoerotic meditation on the societal flaws of modern-day Japan. Jun (Ryuhei Matsuda) is an effiminate gay bar employee who, after being sexually assaulted by a customer, brutally murdered his attacker in a fit of rage. Shiro (Masanobu Ando) is a brutish, heavily-tattooed thug whose combative nature has resulted in too many run-ins with the law to count. When both men are imprisoned for murder, Shiro's undeniable charisma and intensity draws Jun like a moth to the flame. As the two men learn from behind bars to open up and accept one and other for who they really are, a warm bond begins to grow that finds each man confiding his innermost secrets with the other and Shiro taking an almost paternal interest in his fragile young friend. When a confrontation erupts in the common area of the prison and one inmate strangles another to death, the guards are shocked to find Jun sitting on Shiro's lifeless body. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Erik B.

Ryuhei Matsuda and Masanobu Ando star in this dramatic thriller surrounding the investigation of a murder within a prison. Many of the set designs and special effects create a science fiction environment, while the score is predominantly horror-like. Much of the style and structure are different from a typical crime film. For instance, question-and-answer sessions consist of written inquiry followed by verbal monologue by the interviewee. Character development is strong and the use of ambiguity is restricted to visual symbolism while the investigation itself is neatly wrapped up. Takashi Miike has offered a refreshing movie with some novelty.
