He finds two - a pregnant woman (Ohtsuka Nene) and an excitable man (Fukikoshi Mitsuru) who reluctant to leave his expensive foreign car. Through a series of mishaps, Daisuke, his pal and fellow diver Tetsuya (Sato Ryuta), and the two passengers end up trapped on the ship, as the water seeps in from below and the flames roar above.

HK Neo Reviews Says:
Aug 06 2009 12:41 am
All in all, there is really little worth recommending about this sequel, apart from it being a Japanese blockbuster based on a highly successful comic book. Limit of Love – Umizaru 2 is a film filled with clichés and apart from some life and death situations, the film rarely takes off or excites the audience. A true blockbuster should be both entertaining and fun, but Umizaru is neither that or emotional. The result is a feeling of lacking in nearly every department. Points should be given for the manner and outlook of the sinking ship and the theme of how much one are willing to sacrifice for saving others is worth nothing. Still, Umizaru 2 fails as a stand alone film and is ultimately a questionable sequel, but at the very least Japanese is making big budget movies again…
I rate it 5/10
