How sad is this?

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Blistering performances.

This movie has it all:love story - action, killing and blood - humor - surrealism - happy end - surprise endthere is no person who would not like this movie, so watch it, watch it with your friends, watch it when you are alone, just...watch it!I don't know why I don't give this a 10. I guess some less interesting scenes are there to explain/make interesting scenes that happen, but in my opinion only 1 film can have a 10/10, and thats the movie where hot chicks do it with a lot of guys while there's a good story and nice acting with action/gore scenes and a very nice ending. So yeah, basically only the Japanese can make my 10/10 movie and I have seen it but forgot the title, sorry.

Survive Style 5+ is the most underrated film I've ever seen. It's a movie that is completely fun to watch, even if you dislike foreign films. The movie is very fast paced, jumping around from each of the five main characters, with each character having their own unique story. This movie is really weird and funky, with bits of horror and romance, but above all else, Survive Style 5+ is a comedy. I'd rather you watch this movie without knowing any plot details, so I'll just end this review saying it's fun and funny thought, the music is outstanding, the art design is awesome, and when the credits start rolling, I guarantee you'll be in a good mood.

First, the obligatory disclaimer: I'm a big fan of Japanese cinema as well as absurdist film, and count among my favorites such as "Shimotsuma Monogatari" ("Kamikaze Girls"), "The Happiness of the Katakuris" and "Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl". Significantly, many of the actors from those three Japanese films appear in "Survive Style 5+", which helps boost it above ordinary comic fare.Also giving "Survive Style 5+" a head start are some truly promising premises, wacky characterizations and art direction like a nuclear explosion in a crayon factory. So where does the film go wrong? It never goes anywhere with its stories, and it takes forever in doing so. One might well imagine the writer and some buddies sitting around, smoking pot and kicking ideas, jotting them down as they come. But so little is done to develop the ideas, it's very difficult to remain engaged.Even absurdist movies need to have some substance (such as Terry Gilliam's more adventurous films); without that substance, it never rises above sketch comedy. Instead of substance, the filmmakers give us repetition, or mawkishness. A serious irritation is the inclusion of far-too-loud soundtrack music from far-too-little-talented musicians. Brevity is the very soul of wit, and nothing proves this -- one way or the other -- like comedic films. But the director seems to be so enamored with some of his plot lines that he keeps them on life support far longer than they remain viable.It really is a shame. With better development of those inventive ideas, without the pointless and emotionally false "touching" scenes, without the music and with about 20 minutes of flab cut out, "Survive Style 5+" could've been right up there with the best in absurdist Japanese comedies. Instead, I found it increasingly unpleasant and lifeless, to the point where I couldn't wait for it to end.

This is by far the best movie I have ever seen, and I think anyone that has seen it agrees with me. Basically, the movie tells 5 different stories,which interact with each other, but still follow their own story. The movie is about the basic principles you learned in life; people come closer during danger or despair, we should accept people who as they are and learn to live with them etc. I beg of you who has not seen this movie, PLEASE go and buy it from ebay or anywhere else, you wont regret it. This movie is the most vibrant and mindblowing experience you wont find anywhere else, it is simply amazing. There are not anough words to diplay the beauty of this movie.
