As they say in Japan: sugoi! Cool!

Rating: 3/5 --
Like a series of subplot ships slowly meandering downstream to a final narrative focal point, Midnight Eagle has to be one of the most languid political thrillers ever conceived.
PopMatters
Rating: 2.5/5 --
A personal and political melodrama with perfunctory gunplay and explosions.
New York Times
Less an adventure than a confused message drama about Japanese military preparedness, it will have trouble building even a niche audience.

Film Journal International
Rating: 4/5 --
An unexpectedly personal thriller that thrives on complexity.

The film's brisk pacing can't hide the fuzzy logic of the tenuously structured, convoluted script.

Variety
Rating: 1/5 --
A stupor-inducing, would-be thriller from Japan whose sporadic action and inept storytelling is as generic as its title.

Product Description:
Takao Osawa (ALL ABOUT LILY CHOU-CHOU) plays a man who has the opportunity to save his entire country from destruction in this Japanese import. When a U.S. plane crashes in Japan, the bomber's cargo--a nuclear warhead--threatens the lives of millions of people.
