Survive Style 5+ follows 5 different storylines of 5 different groups of people. Each group of people have nothing to do with the other group, but they are linked randomly throughout the movie. A husband tries and fails many times to kill his wife for good. A woman has an obsession with making the goofiest commercials, and records all of her ideas. A family whose father was stuck hypnotized to think he's a bird. A group of goofy young guys who break into houses. A foreign hitman (Vinnie Jones!) who wants to know everyone's purpose in life and his translator. Take all that, put it in a blender, throw in some awesome actors, and you have Survive Style 5+.

Survive Style 5+ is, how you say... awesome. I can honestly find nothing wrong with it. Is it perfect? I don't know! I want to say it is, but something is keeping me. Probably because it's really impossible for a film to be perfect, and I think I'm rushing into it. But I cannot for the life of me find anything wrong with it. I've been staring at my monitor just trying to think of something to say, but it's so hard. I mean, really, how many ways can I say that I loved the movie? The storyline is completely random. It jumps from story to story with a lot of style and cleverness. Survive Style 5+ just overflows with craziness.

I absolutely love the humor of this movie. While the entire movie is insane, most of the time the humor is rather subtle. A lot of things doesn't make sense, but at the same time it all completely makes sense. I don't even think that made any sense.... Though SS5+ seems completely random, everything has a point. There's a theme to it all and it comes together very nicely towards the end. I wouldn't know what to classify the film as. It has some horror elements, some drama, but it's completely full of comedy. I don't think I could ever get tired of SS5+. Towards the end there is even a Christmas theme, which wasn't corny and fit well within the movie. The ending was perfect, and was the best ending for a movie I have seen in a long time.

The title Survive Style 5+ is right about one thing, it is full of style. I've heard it being compared to Pulp Fiction and Snatch, and I agree completely. The director Gen Sekiguchi hasn't directed much (and I haven't seen anything else he has directed) but I will definitely be interested if he directs any more movies. The score, the cinematography, even the feel of the movie is perfect. The cuts from one scene to another couldn't have been any better. The soundtrack is a collection of english songs, including Cake's I Will Survive, and they fit with the movie completely.

I. Loved. Everyone. The actors... man... they were perfect! Tadanobu Asano (of Ichi the Killer fame) was awesome, as usual. I would love to see every single movie he's been in. I loved his personality in this movie. His reactions and frustrations with killing his wife and her popping back up again were great. Vinnie Jones was his normal macho intimidating self. He cracked me up. Ittoku Kishibe (Tatsuya Kobayashi) was the cutest father ever. Ryunosuke Kamiki (Kobayashi's son) was also incredibly adorable. I wanted to steal him and his father and claim them as my own. I loved Ryunosuke Kamiki in The Great Yokai War, he's the cutest and a great actor. Kyôko Koizumi (Yoko, the Commercial Executive) also played the mom in Hanging Garden. She was quite different in this role, but did it perfectly. I can't continue naming all of the actors, as there were so many, but everyone was great.

I'm sure you've gotten the hint that I liked this movie. I wish I could say more about it, but I can't think of anything else. All I can say is watch it. Watch it right now.

What I liked: Everything. But besides that, the style; the humor; Tadanobu Asano; Ittoku Kishibe and Ryunosuke Kamiki were both adorable; the ending.

What I didn't like: Nothing

What I've learned: Dancing men in bunny suits scare me.
