Some familiar faces here, with Rena Tanaka, Bo-lin Chen, and Ren Osugi (my reason for watching this film) filling out a pretty impressive roster. The film itself is pretty basic and formulaic, though. Young people traveling back in time and mixing two cultures isn't all that novel, but there is some fun to be had here.
The action scenes are decent enough, and Tanaka does a decent enough job at portraying an upbeat and pleasant main character. The plot is generic, and the presentation is somewhat grim. The film is also a bit long, offering little in the way of originality. I expected more from the Taiwanese/Japanese coproduction, but it's not the worst film either.
