Matthew D 07/04/2022 Hideo Gosha has been compared to Samuel Fuller in that both make popcorn action movies as a vehicle for social commentary. The comparison is appropriate. See more s r @ScottR 12/01/2021 A good samurai story about injustice, loyalty and honor. Despite its entertaining aspects, it fell short of greatness with a renegade plot and distracting music. Great sword fights though and quality acting. Saw it on TCM. See more 07/15/2020 It's clumsy in its editing and storytelling, but "Three Outlaw Samurai" still manages to shine through its themes and action sequences. See more johnathon w @Hoppynsc 05/05/2020 Classic samurai film that takes a twist on the genre, as loyalties change and the good guys are not always clear. The main cast is superb, with each samurai balancing a different level of cynicism in regards to the plight of the peasants against the magistrate. While some are more optimistic, others don't care one way or the other, but all recognize the injustice happening. Behind the camera, director Hideo Gosha crafts almost a crime noir version of a samurai tale, with no real good guys are bad guys (the peasants have real complaints about their plight, but when given an opportunity to something, don't act, while the magistrate is more a bureaucrat than a dictator). Overall, a nice twist of the samurai movie, showing the shades of honor involved. See more 10/08/2019 Nothing but brilliant.
