Missable; try Goyokin or Tenchu instead, 9 July 2001
4/10
Author: shinobirastafari from San Francisco, CA

Confusing and half-hearted storyline about a samurai's revenge against the clan that betrayed him. Or something like that. It's unoriginal, uninspiring, with mediocre direction, acting, and plot throughout. Definitely not one of Gosha's better movies, which is too bad, as he's really put out some good ones when working with the right team.

Nakadai Tatsuya is fun to watch as always, but he's not on screen long enough to carry your interest with this one.

Avoid unless you're a big fan of either Nakadai the actor or Gosha the director (and I'm a big fan of both!)
