I really liked this movie. It is nothing new, but it was well executed. The movie plays with your emotions and the actors did an amazing job!

“The scenes are acted out so realistically, it makes one actually feel nervous watching it because of the fear that it may come true. The acting was superb - I cannot find fault in any of the cast and the plot was tightly clinched in all the right places without it being too complicated (like most epidemic movies).”

Numbers, my opinion and a MDL review:

More than 400 MDL’ers have watched this movie and more than 2000 MDL’ers has it on their plan to watch list.  Even though the movie just came out on DVD/subbed a few weeks ago, 15% rated this movie a 10! The average score is an 8.0 which is still amazing for MDL. 

I loved this movie (but if you watched the anime you might be disappointed). There were loads of action parts and a lot of scenes that kept you on the edge of your seat!

In one of the reviews MDL’er bochan writes:

“Overall I would say that the movie as a stand-alone movie is enjoyable and well made. There was a certain darkness to it, the setting in the movie was nice. Editing, colouring and choice of music were all well done. ”
