CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.
ramseyhong Rented this from Netflix. The look of this film is slightly low budget, but it complements the bizarre situations in the movie well. Think "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" only in Japanese and less overt violence. The acting is good and the story is very very good and funny. Cinematic ally, it's not much to look at. The movie concentrates on telling the story as clearly as possible and it does a good job doing it. Although the movie itself is pretty tame, there is some strong language in the subtitles that younger children probably shouldn't be exposed to. Another movie that you may like if you like this one is "Wasabi" with Jean Reno and Ryoko Hirosue. It's worth a rent!
PointGuard20 Don't be fooled by the title. This film is in no way an "adrenaline drive." It moves slowly with the romantic comedy far apart. But thats not a reason not to watch this movie. Don't think of it as a "movie" but as a look into Japanese life. This movie centers around a rental car guy and a shy nurse. When they find a case of money they decide to run away together. But when Yakuza gang members find out they go after. This is a great movie to watch because you find out how the Japanese think and their culture. And how much similar they are to Americans in terms of how they live,their shops,etc. This is more than enough reason to watch this movie.
rrolirad Adrenaline Drive (Japanese with English Subtitles) is the most refreshing and delightful film I have seen in years. Saw it at the Academy of Arts theatre in Honolulu. How many times have you experienced an audience applauding a movie?
ohkami I saw this movie in the original version and liked it a lot. It is a very Japanese movie, well made and acted, very charming and never boring, in which two ordinary people seem to be drawn by accident into a minor crime story that unfolds in a calm, quasi inevitable way as the two rise to the situation's challenges and seize its opportunities and many comical situations come about.
