Returner (Ritaanaa) is a 2002 live action Japanese movie, directed by Takashi Yamazaki starring Takeshi Kaneshiro and Anne Suzuki. Suzuki plays a soldier from the future sent back in time to stop an incident that led to an alien invasion of Earth and slaughter of the majority of the human race. Kaneshiro's character is a reluctant hitman that she soon persuades to help her perform her mission.
This is the second film by director Takashi Yamazaki to utilize a number of computer generated visual effects showing
bullet time,
mecha and transforming alien ships (including a
Boeing 747 that appears to transform into a mechanical dragon-ship with aliens on board). The film shows a clear
film noir style. The villains in the film are reminiscent of the type of
gangsters depicted in
Hong-Kong style
triad movies. Despite accusations of it being a
derivative work, this film lays the groundwork for later
CGI-heavy productions such as
Casshern.
