![]() Rating: - Yumiko Shaku portrays a spirit!SkyHigh (which clocks in at approximately 2 hours) is a unique movie because the main character is murdered in the first few scenes. The plot follows our murdered heroine as a spirit! A serial-murderer is on the loose who removes the hearts of his victims . His victims are the past and present guardians of the gateway of the afterlife. Her fiancee, Detective Kanzaki, discovers (on their wedding day at the church) that his fiancé Mina has been murdered with her heart missing. ... Read More Rating: - The Best Romance/Action Film On the Face of the PlanetOrthodox opinion holds that most (if not all) great movies are restricted to the Drama or Romance genres. During my exploration of East Asian cinema, I have discovered a massive amount of contradictory evidence to this commonly-held assertion: A Tale of Two Sisters (2003, Korean Horror) and Cure (1997, Japanese Thriller) being the two most obvious examples, in addition to So Close (2002, Chinese Action), Azumi (2003, Japanese Action), and Fist of Legend (1997, Chinese Action). This brief list is a ...

The film itself deals with a serial killer who is collecting hearts--with a purpose in mind. The antagonist, Tatsuya Kudo (Takao Osawa) does not give a very credible performance in this role. I thought he was great in the film "Aragami." But it is not just his performance either. As others have stated, the characters in the film do not seem to ... Read More Rating: - Underwhelming, but differentIt's no secret that I'm a huge admirer of Japanese director Ryuhei Kitamura, the Asian equivalent of our Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez. The man specializes in stylish, offbeat fantasy films that defy convention (American convention, anyways) while paying homage to the action films he idolizes. I would highly recommend each and every one of his films to anyone looking for a breath of fresh air. That said, this is my least favorite of his films. "Sky High" is filled with interesting ideas, ... Read More Rating: - Good story, with poor directing and actingI accidentally ran into this and decided to try out some Japanese movie with a sci-fi/fantasy kick. The story is traditional with an interesting anime twist: serial murders on girls with hearts taken out; a police detective determined to revenge his fiancé who fell victim; and a high-flyer as the killer with a compelling reason to kill. The Gate of Rage, its guardians and the choices victim ghosts need to make added some Japanese flavor and plot twists. So overall the story is okay. The ...
