skywalkeriit well i won't explain what it is in the movie but it is a must watch for any person who loves intense thriller story...i guarantee you will love it....patience is required in for 70% of movie which will not make much sense but after that when events unfold one by one its....breath taking....out of thousand turns that story can take it takes the one that you will least predict... . . i watched it in subs which are better than dubbed.. . . and also the music is amazing especially the song at end....fits the sad love this movie contains..... i enjoy Japanese anime movies a lot and this sure is in top in its own category. different league..... dialogs will not make sense most of the time until the true story is unfolded in front of you.... for a moment i was afraid that it will end up like one of those complicated movies which u better not try to understand until your head aches and u conclude that movie was nothing but a big pile of s***t but this movie has a rather simple story presented in its unique way... the message is so strong that if i would have been in the field of police and special unit and related bureaucracy...i would have hugely influenced... first five lines are my review its just that to post a review it should be at least 10 lines so i am just extending the stuff here...sorry...but anyway awesome movie for me that is why 9/10 ...one point less cause it was getting a bit slow in between...

Danherb The plot of Jin-Roh is set in a fictitious Tokyo, several years after the second World War. Violent combats between an anti-administration terrorist organization and the capital's para-military police rock the city over and over again. When Fuse, a member of the capital's police force, gets suspended after a young terrorist messenger blows herself up in front of his eyes, he tries to search for more information about her but gets mired in a secret power struggle between the administration and the capital's police force.The plot of "Jin-Roh" is so sophisticated, it can hardly be described without spoiling some very important facts. The movie then comes up with several stunningly surprising twists that one would hardly have anticipated. But despite, respectively, due to the movie's complexity, it is sometimes hard to follow properly the events and incidents. There are so many different organizations interacting and intriguing, which shall not mean, that the story is inconsistent. Rather are all relationships and hierarchies between the organizations (police, administration, ministries) brilliantly thought-out, but the fact that everybody seems to play off against one another, doesn't make it clear who belongs to whom until the end. I had to watch the movie twice, before realizing every aspect of the story. All this may sound like an ordinary political crime plot, but let me tell you, it is something totally unique. The plot's obscurity perfectly fits its grim atmosphere. The idea of a fictitious past is excellently illustrated by the streets and locations, that seem familiar, but at the same time totally strange.The movie's subjects about guilt, atonement and living with burden make it also pretty depressing, but at the same time, a special cinematic experience, due to its unique stylistic features, such as narrating the story of "Little Red Riding Hood and the evil wolf" during several scenes, which accurately fits the events in the movie itself.All in all, one of the greatest and most unique movies, that I have seen, Mamoru Oshii, once again, created a brilliant and intelligent plot, whose complexity sometimes really reminds oneself of Oshii's "Ghost in the shell". The movie's overwhelming picture language and music contribute to its excellence.

Rob Mulligan Jin-Roh is powerful tale of a forbidden love, where the two lovers are trapped in a world that has no way out. Jin-Roh uses animations as a powerful medium, instead of a tool of getting out of having to spend a lot of money to make special effects. Unlike most anime films, this could've been very easily made into a live action film, but instead makes a very powerful realistic (both in art and emotion) film that it pains me that will never get the type of recognition that it deserves. I strongly urge anyone who wants to experience the beauty of animation as a film medium, even if you don't like Anime or American animated films, give this film a chance. It will blow you away

Freddy Jin-Roh, is a very impressive movie from a technical stand point. What is perhaps, most impressive about it, is the plot twists as well as the story. Jin-Roh gives new meaning to the word "Betrayel". It's truly a frightening movie from that point of view. It has a strange artistic look to it. It doesn't seem very Japanese. It's much to dark, gloomy and depressing. The action is far and in between, but when it comes, it is very good. The plot is not the most important thing about the movie. It's more the relationship between the characters. I guess, to be fair, the weakest aspect of Jin-Roh, is definitely that it can feel very slow and stretched out. It has this calm and gritty feel to it, but when things start to happen, the viewer sits on the edge of their seats and wait what will happen.Jin-Roh is betrayal in a movie. It's a very unique anime that totally goes away from the anime mainstream, which makes it difficult to compare it to anything actually. And while it may be slow and a bit at drag at time, it's definitely worth watching, just for the sake of it.7/10
