FINALLY !!
"Iread the book, I'm a Takeshi Kitano fan.. and I finally sw the movie.. Now Kurt Kanazawa intepretation of Takeshi Kitano is sooo good... It's o soulful and Kitano-esque, that the movie could have been him just sitting on a bench and I would have loved it. REAL CHARASMATIC !! Really .. But the movie was good, I'm not gonna go over the plit but if you ike Kitano, This movie is not to miss...."
