Summary: High speed, but gentle, romantic-crime-comedy....
Review: If you stumbled into a gang war, met a beautiful girl, and uncovered a gangster's stash, what would you do? Take the yen and run! This fun comedy reminds me slightly of Guy Ritchie's films, but the main characters are a couple of young kids who just figure, it's time for the good guys to win. They are followed by a group of hapless teenage thugs who inspire more chuckles than fear, and the gangster himself, who they thought was dead. On the lam with the loot, the young couple grudgingly work together, and.....well, it IS a romantic comedy! Well acted, cleverly shot, wonderfully written, this film is a must-see!

Summary: mattaku tsumaranai~!
Review: This movie is, in a word, *boring*. With a title like "Adrenaline Drive" I rented this movie expecting some kind of action flick...instead I was treated to a rather slow-moving, uninteresting, low-budget attempt at a romantic comedy that is hardly romantic nor even much of a comedy.Having lived in Japan for a number of years, it was kind of fun to see social stereotypes poked fun at (dumb yakuza, socially inept teenagers, etc.). The "money laundering" scene was especially good. Not an absolutely horrible movie, I probably would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't been led to expect something more exciting from the terribly misleading title and cover.
