could be an overrating based on me not seeing this variety of fun from Miike in a long time.

The film starts off strong and was pretty damn thrilling for much of its run time. However, the movie fell apart in the final act and just seemed to get a bit too melodramatic and twisty not to edge into campy silliness.

Lots of interesting ideas, but too many twists involved someone being distracted.

Even with the melodrama at the end, I was really impressed with the sophistication of this film.

From the beginning it felt like it's crowd pleasing movie. Despite good premise it's hard to keep much interest later in the film. Silly ending.
