Audience Member in color, a look at protocol & intregue in ancient Japan not much action but a lotta rules & regulations Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A timeless tale of the bushido in Japan now shared to the world. It's an amazing story of a samurai's loyalty and honor. I guess these values are not often seen nowadays that's why it such a great movie to see. Though it's a clever revenge movie, there are a lot of side stories that makes the whole story a drag. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I wish this moved a lot quicker. The end was awesome and some of the characters' families were interesting, but it just developed too slowly after introducing the conflict. Katsu looked much, much younger than the last movie I saw him in: "Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo." Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
