Key of Life has a very nice concept but poor execution. This film also features the beautiful Ryoko Hirosue who starred in Wasabi and The Depatures. She is a wonderful actress with an upright personality that you can't help but fall in love with her characters. She plays a cold/clueless woman in this film that declares she wants to get married but doesn't know to whom. Her appearance is the best thing about the film other than I didn't really like it. It was slow in a bad way with no one surprises or thrilling sequences.
1/5
