Retribution(2006). This flick from Kurasawa may actually approach the depths of fear and suffering explored in Kairo. In this movie, he seems to explore the fears of becoming insignificant after death. While the effects are at times almost cheesy, this did not detract from the film. The lead actor was perfectly cast as a gritty though committed detective, while his partner was splendidly grounded and stolid. The story was good, and when it seemed to come to an end, there was still much more to it. Overall, i really liked this one, though it may not be for everyone. Ashe.
