Under appreciated Kurosawa masterpiece, 13 October 1999
10/10
Author: Shawn Taber (filmbuffshawn@netscape.net) from Rock Forest, Quebec

At the start of this film I didn't know what to expect. I thought it might be a mediocre Kurosawa film. By the end of the film I realized it was one of his best. This film about familial discord and corporate manipulation is breathtaking. Its filled with irony, double crosses, cynicism, manipulation and revenge. In short, its endlessly interesting and captivating. Definitly a must see.
