Title: Scrap Heaven (スクラプ・ヘイバン /天堂失格)
Status: Released in 2005.
Director: Sang-il Lee
Summary:
Featuring a cast of amazing actors. Tetsu (Odagiri Joe) cleans public toilets for a living, Shingo (Kase Ryo) is a police officer stuck at a desk, and Saki (Kuriyama Chiaki) is a pharmacist with a glass-eye in replacement of a missing one. The three of them first met on a hijacked bus.
Three months later, a chance meeting between Tetsu and Shingo led to a revenge-for-hire operation. To promote their business, they vandalized bathroom stalls to offer their help to anyone seeking revenge. Their aim was to get back at the world, however, one prank leads to another, and it wasn't long until they crossed the line and someone got hurt.
Commentary:
I must say, I was largely attracted to it because of the cast (loved them in Atami no Sousakan~ v) Warning though, the themes and plot of the story is a little dark and twisted, the ending is also rather sad D': But the one thing that really stood out were the costumes, considering how this movie has been released a while ago, I think the costumes really gave the characters a certain depth that I loved. For a super alternative movie, I personally found it really great.
