Synopsis:
Standing at a subway station a young man, Kurono (Kazunari Ninomiya), watches as his old primary school friend, Kato (Ken'ichi Matsuyama), attempts to rescue a man who has fallen onto the tracks. Kurono ends up on the tracks with Kato after the man has been rescued, just as a train is speeding through the station. The pair are surprised to find themselves not dead, but rather relocated to a room with a few other people. When they turn round they see a strange black sphere, about two metres in diameter.
Before they can discover what has happened, the sphere begins to display messages on its surface including one which tells them who to kill. After the messages the sphere projects two large drawers filled with metal brief cases and strange handguns. They find that they are part of a strange game where they must not only work out how to play, but also how to survive.

The concept of this movie was BRILLIANT. The effects were amazing, the plot was outstanding, and the actors in this movie did a really great job! Personally, I think that this is one of Nino's best works yet. It was exciting and also full of mystery, especially the after-life part of each of the characters. I give this movie a 5/5. Definitely one of my favourite movies of all time!
