If it were to explode, the entire nation of Japan would be hurled into an unprecedented calamity. Prime Minister Takafumi Watarase convenes an emergency meeting of the Security Council of Japan. An elite squad from the Self-Defense Force able to operate in severe mountains conditions is formed, and heads off to try and recover the fuselage. Amidst the violent barrage of gunfire from agents of an enemy nation, an actual war is about to begin in the heart of Japan, 62 years after the end of World War II. (Strand Releasing)… Expand

    Izuru Narushima’s film is a personal and political melodrama with perfunctory gunplay and explosions.

    It was like watching a monkey do math. One of the worse movies in the history of cinema.
