Rockers

Let’s not kid ourselves, the music was great. It kept the movie going and going. I like how it's all interconnected. The director, Jinnai Takanori (he had a cameo in the film – he was the one buying the cell phone at the end) was a member (lead singer, the character Jin) of the band The Rockers from 1978-1982. What’s more, the guitarist Tani Nobuo died in 2003. Not to mention that the film had a great cast. Well acted, well delivered, fateful, great music. Unfortunately, in the middle of the movie it suddenly kind of slowed down and I have absolutely no idea why. Not to mention the ending... almost stylistically rock. A very good film. A strong 4 stars. I almost gave it 5 stars, but I might bump it up after a second viewing. (09/21/2014)
