Alive

 

Japan 2002, 119 minutes
Dir. Ryuhei Kitamura
In Japanese with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Action/Adventure, Science Fiction / Martial Arts, Prison

 

Aroview: A convicted murderer is sentenced to death, only to escape execution and become the subject of bizarre prison experiments in this inventive marriage of conceptual sci-fi and torture survival horror from the dir. of VERSUS.

Far-fetched premise involving the fate of the world gives way eventually to action posing and slick combat sequences characteristic of Kitamura's bloodlust cinema. MATRIX fans will probably like what they see here; others may be overcome by a rather unwanted sense of deja vu.
