Expected more from this movie with big named actors Jones and Fox. Almost fell asleep watching it as it drags with the unnecessary featured love story in it. Wait for it at your local Redbox for a $1.

I'm no longer what anyone would consider "young", but when I first visited Japan I was and watching this movie was like a time machine back to the rebuilding of Tokyo and the rest of Japan. For me, this movie was a history of early post-war Japan and the props and sets were remarkably realistic. I lived through a great deal of the reconstruction, through the early 1960s, and even though the movie's story might be a bit dry, I don't think anyone would regret renting or buying it

I will literally watch any movie that has any cast members from the hitt T.V. series LOST and I'm serious any one of the actors from LOST and you can bet ill be watching those movies for sure.... Excellent actors all around.....
