[Japanese Movie Review] Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler / Kaiji: Jinsei Gyakuten Geemu


Today's review is about a movie released in 2009, Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler / Kaiji: Jinsei Gyakuten Gemu.

Ito Kaiji (played by Fujiwara Tatsuya) had a large debt and couldn't pay for his debt. The debt collector gave two choice, 10 years paying off his loan or one day boarding on a ship and gamble to repay his debt where he could get even more by it. Kaiji chose the second choice and started gambling on the ship. Because he is smart and genius, he should have won the game. However, because of his partner's mistake, he was lost, arrested, and forced to work underground to pay his debt. Kaiji thought that the Teiai Corporation (who held the events) was sly and got angry. Once again, Kaiji was given a choice where he must gamble for his life.

This movie is made based on a manga written by Fukumoto Nobuyuki with title Tobaku Mokushiroku Kaiji (Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji). The story is excellent, and Fujiwara Tatsuya is even making it much better. The movie is quite thrilling and somehow sometimes makes me annoyed, hehe.

I don't really have much comments on this movie as it is quite perfectly made, the effect, the scene, everything is just cool. I recommend this movie to everyone who likes thriller movie and I give 9 out of 10 points for this movie.

*this review is just a personal opinion and made by me who is a newbie reviewer,if there are any mistakes, feel free to make a correction*
