Instead of this factory, the fields will prove to be used for the Shinkansen line. Then, the endebted entreprenor will seek back the business-man for get much more money he deserved in this real trade.Another not-so subtle critic of capitalism, but some good dark thriller moments and a great&painful strangulation sequence!Read More »
