It did seem as if, after taking the time to do everything meticulously throughout the entire movie, the climax was rushed and barely elaborated on. I do have my ...
The movie was a decent one, and as far as adaptations go it was above average. It's got one of the biggest budgets in japanese film history, a huge cast of famous actors, and a faithful adaptation of the storyline (so far).
but that ending! With the cg work and all the cash they spent I expected the city rampage and Kenji's death to be the most dramatic and intense scene in the movie, but what did they do to the bloody soundtrack?! All throughout the scene there is some generic heavy guitar solo running in the background, making the whole thing feel like some cheap action flick. Even after the explosion and Kenji's death, this blaring guitar continues.
hey guess what-someone. just. died! It was completely out of place and ruined the scene for me. Music can make or break a movie and in this case it definitely broke it. It didn't help that most of the gang didn't seem particularly upset about the death.

As the 20th century approaches its end, people all over the world are anxious that the world is changing. And probably not for the better. Kenji Endo is a normal convenience store manager who's just trying to get by. But when he learns that one of his old friends going by the name "Donkey" has suddenly committed suicide, and that a new cult led by a figure known as "Friend" is becoming more notorious, Kenji starts to feel that something isn't right. With a few key clues left behind by his deceased friend, Kenji realizes that this cult is much more than he ever thought it would be—not only is this mysterious organization directly targeting him and his childhood friends, but the whole world also faces a grave danger that only the friends have the key to stop. Kenji's simple life of barely making ends meet is flipped upside down when he reunites with his childhood friends, and together they must figure out the truth of how their past is connected to the cult, as the turn of the century could mean the possible end of the world.
