Leave your thoughts about Scrap Heaven.
| New York PostV.A. Musetto[Director] Lee also helmed Hula Girls, a clichéd comedy that I hated (one star). With Scrap Heaven, he redeems himself. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghUltimately, despite striving mightily to give everyone a fair shake, the film kindled the ire of conservative Christians and Muslims anyway. |
| Village VoiceAaron Hillis[Director] Lee's visual jazziness and cast are compelling, but nothing can compensate for a deflated, toilet-humored script that negates its potential for sharp social satire with increasingly adolescent and superficial vilifying philosophies. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderDoes not advance much beyond its expected generic elements. |
| User Review?Chris?I swear, Miike could've directed this! |
| User ReviewBims BSo. Fricken. Good. I love everything about this movie. |
| User ReviewJason JA brilliant and twisted Japanese version of Fight Club. Two blokes extract revenge for people who have been wronged until they take on a case that goes awry. The three main actors are superb in their roles but of the three Jo Odagiri is the best. Loved it. |
| User ReviewNicka Ndeviated hearts in metropolitan like tokyo, one of my favourite types of topic. 3 main actors (actresses) perform well too. |
| User ReviewLina MJoe's in it, what else can u say ? ? love the oraginality of the story, great visuality.. |
| User ReviewHsiang Ju HThey help people get even with those they have suffered from. It's hot-blooded at the middle but the end revealing the fact that people have no choice to deal with those unfairness, sadness. |
