I was intrigued, at the start with the supernatural pretext and the Ringu (The Ring) type of style and story line.
The story built well until about a third of the way through when it kind of floundered. For some reason, the acting seemed to fall off also and I lost my connection to the two lead characters.
The initial feel of the movie was a Scandi noir and I even checked to see that they were actually speaking English and it was not dubbed as I prefer sub titles to English dubbing. They all were but with European accents. The insertion of the Asian characters didn't seem to fit with the locations of the story lines.
In all a confused piece of work that didn't seem to know who its audience was going to be but it did have an OK story .
Look its worth a watch but don't expect too much.
