nihongo|"Returner"|リターナー|Ritana is a 2002 Japanese film, directed by Takashi Yamazaki and starring Anne Suzuki and Takeshi Kaneshiro.

Plot

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.

Analaysis

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. Returner has been faced with accusations of being a derivative work.
