A sleek action thriller starring superstars Hyde, Gackt, and Wang Lee Hom, and set in the near future in a fictional Asian city called Maleppa. A hotbed of crime and drugs, the city is the home to Sho (Gackt) and his gang of desperate criminal associates. Into this group comes Kei (Hyde), a pale, vampirish young man who has deep ties to Sho. Kei joins the group, which now also includes Son (Wong) and his younger sister Yi-che (Zeny Kwok), until a grisly event at once reaffirms the bond between Kei and Sho, but also forces Kei to once again flee Maleppa. Years pass and allegiances are switched, but the worlds of Kei and Sho are on course for one last collision...

  I enjoyed the story of the tortured soul of the vampire. I particularly liked the ending b/c it was a completion to the never ending cycle of hate & killing that surrounded Kai & Sho. The relationship b/t Kai & Sho was particularly interesting. I really liked this movie & will watch it again. The music was really good & I will be looking for the soundtrack. Enjoy!~)

  I own two sets of this dvd. I would have rated it higher but just couldn't due to the ending. The movie itself is a bit dark and I wasn't happy with the end at all but I just fell in love with Sho and Kei characters and with their relationship. It's so cute because Sho "Gackt" is so much taller than Kei "Hyde" the vampire but Kei is the mature grown up and guides Sho. There is a lot of action and cool and funny fight scenes and cute romance scenes and bittersweet friendships. I don't usually deal well with movies that are a bit melancholic but I just loved the characters in this I couldn't help myself. This was the movie that started me on my Asian music kick and infatuation with Gackt. I remember the first time I ever saw this in 2003 or 2004, I rented this a dozen times. I don't usually check the credits but I had to see who Sho and Kei were and to this day I'm a total Gackt fan though I never really got into Hyde's music he is still so awesome I love them both and will so watch anything they are in even if it's sad I don't think I would do that with any other artists. read more
