This film starkly depicts the duality of a man: the leader of the guardians of light is a boring corporate guy with a long desk and short temper, while the leader of darkness plays video games a lot and dresses inappropriately for his age. It's clear which side you want to be on.
Despite its simple storyline, which, like other urban fantasy films, takes itself too seriously, the film's radical style (with sped-up shots, frenetic camera work, and hyperactive editing) makes it an entertaining postmodern ride, reminiscent in certain respects of Tykwer's Lola.
