      Audience Member The heroic antics of a samurai-accountant... Yes, japanese could even make that great, but this time they overextended a little bit themselves, especially when the abacus wielding and economically inclined white collar bushi results harsh and monstrous as it could be in these days of crysis, default and spread... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member A different kind of "samurai" is depicted here and while solid, the movie is fairly unspectacular. The performances all around are impressive but you come to expect this level in a Japanese-period drama. Good mix of humour and drama, and flows relatively well, but it's the kind of movie that you'll forget immediately after you see it. Good while it lasts...I guess.
