Special Unit 2002

All in all a pretty solid DVD that was pretty fun to watch.

After watching "2002", the first thing that came into my mind was "Silent Mobius" meets "Blade" meets "Men in Black".

The plot is about a ghost hunter named "TIDE" of the special unit "2002", a task force of SPI (Spirit and Paranormal Investigation). Tide believes he is cursed and that anyone close to him will die. Thus he has no friends and he can't have a girlfriend. He teams up with a ghost named SAM (Sam Lee) who helps him out but since reincarnation is approaching, it is time for TIDE to find a new partner and so he finds WIND. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to WIND...to be a partner of TIDE, one will have to be dead.

The concept of cool ghostbusters or spirit hunters is pretty nice. The movie has nice special effects and really awesome fight scenes but the problem with the movie is that it tries to be serious and it tries to be humorous (like a manga). Although it's nice to have the humor, for a movie like this...sometimes the humor seemed a bit out of place.

There are some parts of this movie that may confuse the viewer as well, so pay attention to the movie. A bright spot to this movie is to see the three guys from GEN-X Cops together again. Although their time together is limited, it was still pretty fun. Also, to see model Daniel Graham in this movie was pretty awesome and she did ok for her supporting role.

All in all a pretty solid DVD that was pretty fun to watch. Although it deals with the supernatural, there are no sick parts in the movie.
