if your looking for a good samurai film or just a good japanese action

film, give this one a pass.

i cant begin to tell you how disappointed i was when i saw this movie and character were using CG swords for thier battles, this along with Zatoichi remake are movies (that if you love traditional samurai films) should be avoided.

dont get me started on the goofy guy whos afraid to draw his sword. his whole situation doesnt even begin to make sense. he is afraid of killing so he literally can not draw his sword. its weird. and he can fight just fine with a wooden sword yet he never takes one into battle which would be a simple and effective solution.

just a vapid stupid movie. its like anime. if you like anime youll probably like this.
