Leave your thoughts about Adrenaline Drive.
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickA notable, tongue-in-cheek mélange of American action-film clichés, despite containing a baffling lack of most American action-film clichés. |
| Film Journal InternationalThom BennettStirs up about as much adrenaline as a good nap. |
| User ReviewLisa SVery very sweet film, lots of fun but pure cheese! |
| User ReviewPrivate UFunny Japanese black comedy. Saw this in a little independent cinema & loved it. Different to what i normally go for but it made me laugh and that is no mean feat. |
| User ReviewSarah CFound this at the library, and seeing it starring Ando Masanobu (Kazuo Kiriyama from Battle Royale) made me check it out immediately. I was not at all disappointed, as I loved this movie. The classic slapstick, the absurdity of the two protagonists and their feelings towards one another, and antics of the six young yakuza thugs trying to get the money just got me hooked. Plus the relationship of the one yakuza leader who managed to survive not only the explosion but through a submerged ambulance and his head nurse was just heartwarming. It also had a pleasant ending where everybody wins (more or less). Being a lover of Japanese culture I loved seeing all the ways how Japanese live that I am sure a Japanese viewer wouldn't think twice about but I found it fascinating. Definitely give this one a try. |
| User ReviewGrace LIt's Japanese dark comedy and some funny stuff. If you like foreign comedies, check it out. |
| User ReviewMichael Ta personal favorite, showed to me by my japanese teacher in high school. made me realize that japanese films are fucking awesome. or sometimes just totally weird. but usually pretty fucking awesome |
| User ReviewZachary LWow, they have this movie up. Pleasantly surprised, both now and when I saw it. |
| User ReviewDavid SBought this last night. But, initially, I'd seen it like 3 times before, all the copy by the main library. Funny as hell. But, I have so much hard-core action and violence in my DVD collection that I want some balance. I almost added "Save the Green Planet" last night, but I'd seen it 3x, too, and was supposed to stop at THREE DVDs, but ended up with four. Adorenarin Doraibu kept me laughing at the tricks life can play on us, with unexpected, sudden or bizarre events culminating into one large, freakish, funny-nutty stream of events converging to a final outcome. |
| User ReviewAudrey-Kim HI like this film. It was the 1st Japanese film I ever saw and got me into watching more asian films. It's not as fast paced as the title makes it out to be. However it's a fun, entertaining film with a good script. |
