Another uninteresting and overlong cheapie from Japan. I was getting really into Japanese cinema at once, enjoying the highs of FISH STORY and various wacky time machine escapades, but they do make their fair share of clunkers too and this is such a beast. It begins with a prison break and then follows a group of lost souls as they tour the countryside, chatting and getting into danger. I was hoping for a RESERVOIR DOGS vibe here but it's another one of those films which goes on forever without much in the way of anything interesting happening at any point. There are a few familiar faces along the way, but they get lost amid the big, uninteresting cast of characters.
