Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among people who like stories about real, flawed people, this one's for you. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 3 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

A taxi driving, punk rock listening, serial rapist with a bad attitude picks up female fares, sedates them with gas and takes them to his grungy lair where he video tapes his sexual abuse.
