Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Delight
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

If you are into absurd, dark humoured comedies, you will more than enjoy this. One part of the "Dual Project", this is more entertaining than the other story (Aragami). While Kitamura seemed to have just done a light version of his (good) movie Versus, this has a few things going for it. Both have the same basic idea. Two actors (or actresses in this case) in one room.And what happens from there, is up to the individual director. But let's say it's not something the faint-hearted will like or enjoy. But as I stated above, if you are a fan, than you will be delighted by quite a few things. It has a fast pace, some funny dialogue and just enough of everything else. If you watch it with Aragami, make sure this is the second movie you'll watch!

2LDK is one of those films that initially appear to be a black-comedy but quickly spirals into a tense, bloody thriller. This actually turned out to be my favorite film from the Danger After Dark box set from TLA Releasing's new DVD imprint, Danger After Dark.Trust me, this film doesn't get "too deep" nor does it remain comedic for long. As the film gets going you can see the girl's sanity levels drop as the attacks become more severe. The acting was wonderful.2LDK is presented in anamorphic widescreen (1.85) format. The transfer was a bit grainy and whites tended to blur together. It wasn't horrible but it was noticeable. One thing worth noting is the special features on this release
THERE'S ACTUALLY SPECIAL FEATURES! We're given a "making of" featurette, an original trailer and a press conference announcing the film and offering up a Q&A session with the cast and filmmaker. It was great fun. I'd recommend this film.

The film begins as a kind of psychological movie with a bit of humor. It's unfortunate that it does not build on these grounds. Instead it slips into mindless violence. The two main characters hurt each other without real or at least believable reason. You cannot even call it action movie because the story is too jerky. The end is foreseeable from the very start. The characters are flat as a board. The scene is distracting and does not play. There is hardly any plot in there at all. It requires strong will to keep watching it to the end. I recommend to avoid this film as a huge waste of time.

Excellent film for a Saturday night. Great dialog and tension builds throughout the movie to a violent climax.The story is minimal but only serve as the driving force to put into motion this half hour between the two girls in their apartment.You can really identify to these characters as if you were to be trapped in such a situation (Your roommate destroying everything you have) you would go berserk trying to kill the other one.The biggest flaw of this movie is the duration. It only last 1 hour and 7 minutes. I mean, the fighting is starting to become really good and it ends abruptly.Too bad the film cuts at such a great part.Another thing, Lana is hot, which adds to the greatness of this piece of Japanese cinema.
