Review of 2LDK (2003) by Darren H — 30 Dec 2007
Second film that makes up the the 'Duel Project' - other film being Aragami (see my review). This film tells the story of two actresses/flatmates who find that they are rivals for the same part.
One is anal in everything she does from cleanliness to marking food and has a love for theatre while the other is ruthless in getting what she wants. When the action eventually starts with swords, chainsaws, hot water and even electricity coming into play, it's not as exciting as it could be.
There are some savage punches thrown but, for instance, when Nonami's character attacks with the chainsaw and the knife, she moves really slow giving the other character ample time to react. I didn't find the action or dialogue as sharp as Aragami's was although comparing a duel between two women to the duel between the samurai and demon isn't really fair.
The movie was worth seeing but entirely average. Winner of the 'Duel Project' goes to Aragami.
