Stairway to paradise

Two men go to Aokigahara, the Suicide Forest in Japan, to end their lives but - beat that to irony - end up fighting to stay alive instead. American Arthur (Matthew McConaughey) and Japanese Takumi (Ken Watanebe) swap stories by the campfire, altho it's a one-way street there, Arthur's past is dug inside out whereas the Takumi character remains as paperthin as it was introduced, so much in fact that you are bound to wonder there's something fishy in the making. Better than the reviews I read.
