Movie Review: Kaiji

I went to watch Kaiji on my own. Because I am a crazy mad woman who finds ogling men far too enjoyable to give up.



Rating: 2.5/5
Number of times watched it: 1
Number of times wanted to touch Tatsuya Fujiwara inappropriately during film: 29

I wouldn't say the storyline for the film was amazing, overall, but it made cow sense, at the very least. I figured out through the all-knowing internetz that Kaiji was actually an anime to begin with, and I quite like the concept for it. Redemption through gambling. How very twisted.

I did, however, find it very strange that the Japanese police didn't discover that big underground group. All those people living down there, looking forward to beers and chips... and yakitori sticks. (And, right after I saw the movie, I walked down to Jaya Jusco to get some, hahahahaha!)



I -do- have to say, though, that, as simple as the concept of E-card is, it's actually pretty damn twisted. It's a bloody game of chance. Either that, or you're going to have to read your opponent really well, and I'm no bloody good at that, either. Still, good concept for a quick card game. The fella who played the villain, Tonegawa, was really good. He has a very... (If I were speaking in canto, I'd say, 'yong sui', which means 'bad face') ...big face problem, which helps, I think, in this role. He looks the part of the villain well enough.

I also spent the majority of the movie ogling Tatsuya Fujiwara. I fell in love with him during Death Note, but this--THIS is just GOLD. The second I saw him kicking a mercedes benz (was it that, or a BMW?), I fell in love. Heeheehee, oh, Tatsuya~<3

Besides. Who can -not- fall in love with this face?



Yes, I am aware of how dumb-blonde I sound right about now. You all may shoot me for it later.

One thing that irked me, though, was how they advertised. "The cast of Death Note reunites...", and so on.

Putting Tatsuya Fujiwara (Light) and Ken'ichi Matsuyama (L) in the same movie, does NOT equal the 'cast of Death Note'. That's like, two cast members of the same movie, sheesh.

But, at any rate, good enough to be watched, if only to swoon. I'd watch it again, but... I'm weird that way.

Happy Tatsuya'ing! 8D
