This movie is directed by Hiroyuki Okiura (A Letter to Momo) in his directorial debut and contains the voices of Michael Dobson (Sausage Party), Moneca Stori (Inuyasha), Dale Wilson (Stay Tuned), Michael Kopsa (Fantastic Four) and Maggie Blue O'Hara (Dragon Ball Z).
The task force soldiers in this look awesome. The opening sequence is perfect and really sets the stage for the drama within this picture. The storyline unfolds well and has interesting characters. The dialogue is very good and has some great analogies. The animation is a bit inconsistent but good enough and the action scenes are excellent. The wolf tie-in is pretty good, especially during the dream sequences.
Overall this isn't a classic but is definitely an entertaining picture worth a viewing. I would score this a 7/10 and recommend watching it once.
