Posted by Kevin Ouellette at 1:32pm on Tuesday, November 4, 2008
Filed under: Thriller
Live-action adaptation of Osamu Tezuka’s manga serial from the late 70s. When a top secret chemical compound called MW infects an island near Okinawa, the military is sent in to kill all the victims and cover up the incident. A survivor named Michio Yuki (Hiroshi Tamaki) grows up to become a highly-successful banker, but he is slowly being driven mad by the effects of MW. After committing a series of ruthless crimes to get revenge against the people responsible for the cover-up, he decides that the only way to truly get revenge is to unleash MW on the world and exterminate the entire human race. Takayuki Yamada stars as Father Garai, a priest desperately trying to save Michio’s soul but not necessarily doing much to stop his crimes.
Update (4/19): Replaced the 78-second version with the 86-second version.
