What the characters do and their responses are all completely unreal. Everybody dives off the deep end with an enthusiastic abandon which made me wonder how they'd lived to be as old as they are. Meanwhile the dialogue is the sort of terrible stuff that can come only from a sophomoric novelist, stuff real people who keep journals might write in them, but that not even they ever would say aloud.

I read one comment someplace claiming this is a comedy. I've always thought I had a sense of humor. I like to laugh as much as the next fellow. Still, that this film is a comedy never occurred to me. The only comedy it contains is the comedy of the inept.

1 out of 10.

Handsome Mr. Bandai, disco owner deep in debt to the mob, conceives a bold plan to rip off the very people to whom he owes money. Can he really think they'll not notice when he attempts to pay them off with their own jack, especially as he's present, unmasked, at the ripoff?

His boyfriend, Mitsuya, goes from trying to kill him to taking a shower for him with no stop inbetween.

Two more of his confederates are so obviously unstable it's a miracle anyone would trust them with an errand to buy a quart of milk let alone with a 100 million yen heist at the risk of everyone's lives.

The only one with any sense in the whole undertaking is the ex-cop, Hizu, unless you count having a thing to do with any of the rest of them as indicating an obvious lack of sanity.

You know up front they're all going to get blown away in the end. When finally it happens the only thing you wonder is why it took so long.
