Serebu to binbô tarô

I'm kind of intrigued by the world of poor vs. rich again at the moment, so why not watch Ueto and Kamiji? I like them both a lot, so I picked this up with gusto. It's just that when you’ve seen a few of these Japanese movies and you’re sick of the same old tired stories, characters, and fates over and over again, you'll end up how I did: not really digging it. Honestly, almost the entire 2nd star is just for "Rock is the best". Otherwise? Average, below average, boring, I saw nothing new, not a drop of variation on what I've already seen, and therefore impossible to rate differently. I wanted some fresh air in my veins, I got the stale warm air that wafts from public toilets. But yes, Alice had some nice threads, mostly. (2012.01.21)
