Oh look, a domestic film that's a remake of a foreign film...
Sounds awfully familiar what some studios do nowadays....

shayouzoku, i agree. she was in a late night drama on Fridays on TV Asahi until recently, I don't know if it's still on. she was an elementary school teacher brought in to control a group of crazy kids. looked great and could act. mind-boggling combination in Japan

Look forward to watch the film, to see Hiroshi-san acting again on screen.

It is about a man stuck in an elevator after he committed a crime. Classic. Hiroshi Abe is the best Japanese actor together with Ken Watanabe. i will definitely see this movie even if it is a remake. I have nothing against to be stuck with him in an elevator to the gallows. dreams.

I used to own that DVD; it's quite good, but the films feels like a prolonged ****denouement**** -- lots of mistaken soul-searching from the female lead, who thinks she's been abandoned by her lover, when in fact he's stuck in an elevator, trying to escape.
I wonder if this movie will work in the age of cellphones, however...

I have read the book. It is one of the greatest thrillers in my opinion.
