Japanese Movie " Not Quite Daed Yet " is a comedy- action drama with fantasy element and a father- daughter relationship at its core. The movie has a messy pace, with things happening out of nowhere and their progress being all over the place. The twists and the main idea behind the story weren't explained either. On the other hand, the film is entertaining and the story original, thought predictable. The relationship between the father and the daughter could have been handled in a better way. The performances, finally, were all great by all the actors and the actresses of the cast. So, overall, six out of ten.

It's very entertaining. The funeral-concert scene is especially hilarious.

And they never answered HELLO! Why no answrr? Todd nelson - nippon.

So lame. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING is explained. Not the pretext, not the 'science' and not the reason these things can happen. The music says it is metal, but it is just a lame didley with a shorthaired girl belching (not growling) on top. The almond eyed girl is not even pretty so we can forget the 'story' and enjoy her body!!!

I saw this movie almost by accident: The tickets of the movie I wanted to see were sold out, and was able to obtain tickets for this one in the last minute. Don't believe the critics. It did not disappoint! This movie is full of smart humour, entertaining and very touching. Don't forget to stay for the end credits. There is a bonus scene.

Stumbling upon the 2020 Japanese comedy "Ichido Shinde Mita" (aka "Not Quite Dead Yet"), I opted to sit down and watch what writer Yoshimitsu Sawamoto and director Shinji Hamasaki had to offer. Sure, I had never even heard about the movie prior to actually sitting down to watch it. I was immediately drawn to the movie, given its cover. And I have to say that the movie's synopsis sounded like something that could be fun. Sounded like it... However, the storyline in "Ichido Shinde Mita" was a swing and a miss from writer Yoshimitsu Sawamoto in terms of entertaining me. This was mainly because of the character gallery in the storyline, man, talk about annoying and irritating characters. And the dialogue they had to deliver was just toe-curling to listen to. Especially lead actress Suzu Hirose's character was so annoying that I ended up giving up on the movie. I found no entertainment or enjoyment here in "Ichido Shinde Mita". So this is definitely not a movie that I will recommend fans of the Japanese cinema to rush out and get to watch. My rating of "Ichido Shinde Mita" lands on a two out of ten stars.
