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
代入感还不错，主角光环不算太离谱，所以会有点历史真实事件的幻觉，但细究起来剧情上有不少bug
没看完。从女警这么远开枪开始有点看不下去，结果她第二次又远距离开枪，真看不下去了，开局也太冗长，
网飞出品的公路片，粘点政治色彩。整体还行吧 7分。
我觉得还可以呀 虽然剧情前期铺垫很慢 后期逃命追杀看的人紧张冒汗 男主战斗力太强了 跟《信条》一模一样
很老派，还挺稳。小华盛顿这憨憨的长相意外适合演那些“我是谁，我在哪，我要干什么”的懵逼脸。厄运全分配给坎妹了，小华盛顿血量拉满，金钟罩护体，任你往我身上挖洞，老子依然可以使用泰山压顶，上演土版007。
你可以称之为安全带宣传片，也可以将前三分之二称之为美国护照宣传片，不过后面就有点离谱了，超过了给主角设定的能力值范围，谓之开挂也不为过。
节奏过于缓慢，主角就是nb呗，怎么都死不了，最后一跃还来个伟光正。略无聊
艾丽西亚竟然只打了个酱油 这是老美又在宣扬正义的美国公民在国外办好事呗 一般
平凡之中的伟大，不是精心策划的剧本，却依旧抓人。
后三分之一剧情崩了要不凭着朴素真实的动作戏是能给四星的。另外坎妹是来客串尸体的？
故事还挺流畅的，但也比较老套了。最后10几分钟有点掉分。男主本来就又伤又疲走路都不利索了，最后坚难爬上8层楼居然还能力斗两个杀手！腹部中枪后血没流几滴，居然还选择从4-5层楼直接跳下去砸车上！这实在是太假了。而且逻辑也不太说得过去，他疲劳驾驶致女友身亡，再想以救小孩来赎罪，也不致于做到这个地步啊。
老黑异国他乡身中数枪救出希腊男孩，为希腊民众带去了美国梦
本来冲着坎妹看的，结果戏份很少
最后两点建议：别疲劳驾驶，别去乱的国家。
我觉得也就一般吧，印象最深的只有两个地方，一个是最后从好几层楼上面跳下来，跳到飞驰的车上，实在比较扯。 另一个就是抢劫摩托车未遂，被希腊娘们一脚踹开 哈哈
全程看一黑人像只黑猩猩一样吊着手跑来跑去，躲避追杀，却怎么都杀不死！雅典居然看不到黑人，长见识了
警匪联手狠追杀，男主开挂求生天。
感觉把那种怎么逃都逃不掉，躲到哪里都会被找到的漫长折磨人的噩梦，拍成了电影。。

把这个“超人”化的结尾联系到影片开头的某种神谕或许会比较能接受，当然我觉得这不是重点。本片的重点在于主角所面临的一个又一个的危机(打通关)，以及在面临危机时所不断穿过的“景观”——从约阿尼纳到雅典——对自然风光到城市街景极为精彩的呈现，尤其是雅典宪法广场的游行，正好和谍影5对着看(本片是白天景、谍影5是夜景)。剧情方面，政悚片的调调是出来了，“悚”＞“政”，有人提到《西北偏北》，硬扯的话有一点点吧…捂脸笑。
