Admitly I was a tad confused but I was really enjoying it until he raped that girl so if that scene was cut I think it be a good movie.

That shit was ass. I know good and goddamn well Takashi Miike could’ve made this a good adaptation if he was in charge. I don’t wanna discredit Takashi Shimizu but seriously this was not good. Letting Nakoshi have a good ending was the dumbest shit you could’ve done and the second half of the movie is just complete shit too. Not very good at all yikes.
