The story
Audiences will begin to grasp what they are in for early on, as loser Nishi, too wimpy to try to save his childhood sweetheart from gangsters, is shot in the butt by a soccer-playing psychopath, projecting Nishi into the afterlife. In this limbo, God - shown as a series of rapidly changing characters - tells him to walk toward the light. But Nishi runs like hell in the other direction and returns to Earth a changed man, driven to live each moment to the fullest.

I have no clue what this is even supposed to be, man.
While a bit slow in the middle, Mind Game is a fantastic movie that's equal parts mind bending and profound.
A masterpiece with a surprisingly poignant message, and exceptional visuals.
-Mind Game review. A classic example of the negatives of a directorial debut.-
