This is a great deal like Minoru Kawasaki's "Calamari Wrestler". It deals with the most melodramatic and ridiculous of worlds, the world of professional wrestling. Only Japan seems able to truly capture the over-the-top melodrama of pro wrestling, with its code of the warrior attitude and silly plot twists.

The story is completely out there, and you really just need to go with it--don't think about it just let it take you on its magical, insane joyride. The movie starts off with a bang, literally. They blow a house up after a twenty-man free for all, which really should give you a pretty good idea of where they are heading. The beginning reminded me a lot of those old "WWF In Your House" ads where the wrestlers would destroy somebody's living room in the commercials.

The movie's main star, Shinya Hashimoto, a real life pro-wrestler, does an excellent job with his role, mainly because he is being himself in a more insane story than usual. It really helps the movie, unlike such pro-wrestler vehicles as "Suburban Commando", where the wrestlers are out of their element. To get the most out of this, you need some familiarity with wrestling. You need to understand the ebb and flow of its particular brand of storytelling. If you liked "Calamari Wrestler" but wanted more insane destructive fights out of it, then this will be your wacky cup of tea.
