This 1992 Japanese film tells the story of a scientist who sets out to create the new "super Adam and Eve", humans who cannot be controlled by their emotions. Of course, the end result it not exactly what the good doctor expects.
comments from imdb:
This modern tale of an attempt to build a creature is one of the best "horror" films ever made, even if its not a horror film but something else entirely. Certainly its on my short list of all time great films.
This film was introduced to me by someone who told me "I have this film that probably one of the best films you'll ever see. It will move you and touch you and make you think, but if I told you what it is and told you how its done you will think its the stupidest thing on the face of it and you won't watch it." Intrigued I asked what did he mean, and he said, "Well its a Frankenstein story, with a very goofy sort of edge, but which uses it to its advantage." My ears perked up, and I being a trusting soul took the tape and watched it. I was blown away.
The plot concerns a mad scientist attempting to make a new Adam and Eve in the wake of a suicidal plague that is ravaging the world. Locked up in his lab his experiments go differently then either he or we expect. Some of it is silly (The bolts in the neck, the wrestling moves...), all of it is touching and thought provoking.
I can not recommend this movie enough. If you are willing to take the film on its terms and allow it to tell its story then I urge you to seek this film out and see it. This is an undiscovered gem that will stay with you forever.
15 out of 10 and then some. 10/10
Also known as "The Last Frankenstein", this is an extraordinary, impeccably produced horror film. Director Takeshi Kawamura uses Mary Shelley's novel as a mere launching pad for an exploration of subjects as diverse and fascinating as the nature of love, desire, suicide, mass hypnosis, sex, alienation and jealousy.
And though the film is dense with subtext, it is also stunningly photographed and rich in atmosphere and detail. The performances are all amazing and Kawamura's sensitive handling of the strange, delicate relationships between the characters results in an emotionally charged, angst-ridden tragedy.
The scenes of the confused, troubled monster hurtling through a fog-shrouded forest at night are memorable and striking, as is a brilliant home movie-style montage of the film's more curious characters enjoying a precious afternoon at the beach. Kawamura creates resonating visual poetry of horror and sadness barely sighted since Todd Browning's classic "Freaks".
Intelligent, emotional, tragic and real, this is an absolute gem. 9/10
还真的是烂，网飞真的是……不过看高司令和美队干架也还挺好的哈哈哈哈，动作戏确实很流畅，布拉格大战看得我不禁卧槽，不要破坏这么美的地方啊心疼。以及结尾用了black keys新歌，算是惊喜了，加一星！
（4.0/10）毫无意外，还是我们熟悉的那个“网飞片”的节奏，上一部是《红色通缉令》，那也就没什么好谈的了。我在想，上一代好莱坞的“掌权者”成长于新好莱坞时期，这塑造了他们在七八十年代的风格并影响了九十年代之后的好莱坞走向。而现今这些社交网络的拥有者和消费主力，接受的则是九十年代的熏陶，新的东西不再涌现，更多的是成功的复刻与模式的因袭。这也许导致这些“网飞片”看起来很像布鲁斯南的邦德或威利斯似的动作英雄，以感官刺激为导向的创作目标左右了编剧的正常写作，巧合、超人类体格、置现实环境于不顾的故事展开极度泛滥。当然也不是没有变化，世纪末的末日恐惧让位于小格局的个人感情、女性角色的独立性被重视、无人机视角等新技术的采用都能带来某些新体验。
不理解Armas用镇静剂射中Chris后为啥不补枪？补一枪后面这么多事不就结束了？两位退休老人就没事了，靠女孩的起搏器定位也能找到她。整个故事圆满结束，这样就少了至少一个小时的片长。
大片儿，泰米尔杀手竟然是大名鼎鼎的丹努什，而丹努什的动作戏竟然拍地相当不错。
当男主和众人在飞机上开打后，我就想“一会儿是不是要子弹打穿机舱空气失压把敌人吸出去是吧”，然后就……等主角也跳出机舱后我就开始想“马上就要自由落体去抢敌人的降落伞了是吧”然后就……行吧
是从谍影重重改来的吗？特工暗杀特工，结果特工当了中情局任务领导，瞎指挥，暗杀变成明杀，真的蠢透了。高斯林已经尽力了，但我老是出戏想到芭比娃娃里他粉色亮闪闪的造型（哭）。然后就是爆炸，去维也纳老盟友家被炸了，去布拉格广场被炸了，被困井里把井炸了，去基地救小女孩把基地炸了……总之就是炸裂。广场大战，反派都用RPG了，不直接一炮把无法行动的主角轰死，想不通。大反派为何总让我脑子里响起波西米亚狂想曲？
有一众明星，但平庸到令人发指，罗素兄弟是不是也就这点本事了。
超高成本超低制片成果，老套到梦回90年初。
呃，这剧情莫名其妙一塌糊涂的，为了拍各种大场面和能在各城市取经而绕地球一圈。最后还是落回到一个十分俗套的剧情。
老套的故事+BUG满天飞的逻辑+夸张又火爆的动作戏+降智疯批的反派+无人机炫技摄影（估计是从卖拷贝片场借来的）+凌厉风格的剪辑+“环球旅行”+包括但不限于《谍影重重》《007》《疾速追杀》《速激》等影片的影子＝好莱坞无脑爆米花动作片，拍的很好，下次别拍了。网飞你是有钱任性，但不代表你可以一直拍烂片啊！
就挺好看，虽然剧情弱了点，但看高司令装逼还是挺爽的。
都应该感谢格林格拉斯！低配版谍影重重，前面很有看头，但是最后一幕太老套，做了很多无用功，导致电影逻辑有问题
唯二的亮点在于电车追逐戏和无人机镜头
打得还算热闹吧。剧情很一般。既不紧张也不怎么好看，听说还投资巨大。
网飞家的剧本AI，难道都不更新程序的吗?
后半小时是什么纱布剧情！合着高斯林是神，女主是圣母，女孩是高斯林亲妈嘛！还不如让高斯林和埃文斯脱衣服打上俩小时呢，恶心！祝罗素兄弟不得豪斯！
无聊到睡着。整体太像游戏，今年的美术风格是全都赛博朋克化了吗……
一部爆米花电影这么难看，把观众看睡着了可还行
无脑爽片，凑合看看还行。
花这么多钱拍这么个几十年前就拍烂了的套路？
