This is movie about luck. (How appropriate that I watched this right after seeing Japan win the Women's world cup against a much better US team with what appears to be pure destiny.) It is a different kind of a story. The viewer has to piece it together in the latter part of the movie. The cinematography is a bit different too. The main premise of the story is not too unreal; as such you wonder what people wouldn't do under such circumstances. My Rating: 7.0
