Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

SS5+ is a blast. A series of bizarre, interconnected stories set in a world where everyone has the world's craziest, most colorful decorator, the movie is weird and funny and quite entertaining. And yet, at the end it left me feeling let down, asking the question that is the obsession of one character: What's your function?While the conceit of the story is that it is five interconnected stories - a man's attempt to kill his indestructible wife, a family disrupted by a hypnotist, a trio of burglars wandering around, a couple of hit men doing their thing, and an advertising copywriter coming up with weird ideas, it is truer to say that the first story is the main one and the others are all feeder stories.By this, I mean that only the first story really stands, for the most part, on its own. The hypnotist story is also sort of well developed(and Hiroshi Abe is hilarious as the hypnotist), but the burglars and the copywriter are peripheral and the assassins is not so much a story as a device to connect everything together.The one true story, a man trying to kill his wife, is great. It is surreal and wildly imaginative. Character development is weak, with characters doing what the story needs rather than what seems integral, but it all works pretty well. But whenever the focus was elsewhere I just wanted that story to come back. Everything else felt sketched out, and the intercutting, while sometimes entertaining, seemed to have little purpose beyond being cool.Is there a point to all this? Maybe, but there's nothing about the movie that makes me want to ponder on it. It's just cool and weird. And while a lot of reviewers here are acting like this movie is the weirdest movie ever, there are better weird Japanese movies out there like The Happiness of the Katakuris and Paprika.Still, if you like really weird movies (and I do), this is a must see. I just wish it felt like a cohesive piece instead of a roughly tossed salad.

Well what can you say... just witnessed this spectacle ... completely crazy...yet still manages to have depth. Not everything works , its a little too long but hey !! who cares when you have plot lines which includes a dysfunctional couple (played to the extreme), repressed homosexuality which blossoms at the end, amazing soundtrack (even the cake song was relevant), a man who is mentally a bird due to hypnotism gone wrong, later taught by his his son to fly due to the son's admiration of his father, Vinnie Jones !? who constantly is interpreted by a Japanese sidekick who never once utters a word of English, the worlds greatest actor (T.Asano), set designs that will blow your mind, spoofs of J-horror/game shows/anything really !! ... i could go on and on... not for everyone but why is this not released in the UK. There is so much more than Ghost stories and Miike takashi (he is still amazing mind)... invest in Survival Style 5+... it makes Tarantino look like Renny Harlin

Definitely one of my favorites!There are so many creative and innovative ideas and genuine rip-off's of clichés. A real fun to watch. And the stunning art style ... never seen a so detailed and thought-out flick like this one. Even when you watching this film a second time you still might get lost in figuring out all these details. Music was also perfectly used; a 100% match with the art style (something like Rock/Pop ...(?).. well, you'll get it when you see it) Even the slower and moderate background music (simple piano chords), which was used in the middle of the film for quite a long time, was also a consummate choice. The highlight, alongside the art style, of this movie was definitely characters and acting. Every one of them really stand out. Some of the reviews complained about a cliché-kind of presentation of Vinnie Jones. You know, this was intentionally; hinting at the cliché image of Gaikokujin (foreigners) in japan. It is just an amazing performance of the entire cast.If i happen to see this movie presented in an art exhibition, i wouldn't be surprised at all. A real masterpiece, though some might only like it, but not love it, as i do ... well, too bad! ;)

Everything said is an opinion so it might help you decide or it may give you the wrong impressions. Be aware of this. I read a few opinions on this website before watching Survive Style 5 and they were mostly misleading. I am not bitter but this is simply what I think. The film had it's moments which were mostly good comedy and some romance(or maybe that's just me being attracted to beautiful women), but overall the film was drawn out, the story was too difficult to comprehend, and I can endure long silences with no action or movement, but only when there is a purpose, and in this film I saw no purpose and lost interest through the film a few times. There was a review here on IMDb that described the silent character's role as amazing, but I just did not feel his amazing performance. In comparison, I watched Musa The Warrior the following night where the leading role is a silent one and I was truly awe struck by his performance, which had just as little dialog and I know it's a completely different story and setting, but writing and acting and directing created the most mesmerizing silent performance I have ever witnessed, and it ranks highly among all other characters I have seen. Musa's character was an amazing performance and like someone on IMDb already mentioned about Korean films in relation to SS5, there are better quality films out there with better writing, acting, directing, and which come together to make quality films that have a lasting impression because they are so compelling. Musa was one of these films that is so absorbing that after two hours when the film had ended, it seemed like on an hour and a half. So watch and enjoy what films you will, opinions are for the individual and should be cautiously observed. I hope you enjoy the film and many more Korean films to come.
