A stunning science-fiction tale set in the year 2077: Japan has withdrawn from the world community after defying international treaties on the development of bio-technology.
With an electromagnetic field to stop people getting in or out, nobody beyond the fortress country has any idea what's happening within its borders. Having set the global stage, the action begins when the US send an elite team of commandos to bring back information on Japan's robotics programme. What they find there comes as a major shock, prompting a pell-mell series of exciting set-pieces as Vexille and a small rebel force go up against the country's corporate rulers. In Japanese with English subtitles.
...a great sci-fi romp Eye for Film
