This movie is not all bad. It has a Japanese version of Charles Manson doing some influencing, without drugs, and shows effectively that Japanese justice system was far more reasonable than that of California, citing inciting to murder and actually INVESTIGATING what really happens. The plot is somewhat fanciful, and is inspired by a real cult and Sarin gas attacks, the atmosphere and film-making techniques are on par with anything from the era, but the movie does come off as somewhat pedestrian, boring and not really a master peace. Still, not too shabby.
