By a coincidence I happened find this movie. The movie is including Chinese acrobats, different shady people, samurai, and much more.
First I would say I will most likely never be a big fan of Utaemon Ichikawa that plays the lead in the movie. But he does well in this movie. The movie in general moves along at a good pace. There is also a lot of fighting going on in the movie, but I am not sure if you see it for sword fights alone that this is a movie you will enjoy. I enjoyed the story and the characters and had a good time with the movie. In my opinion not a masterpiece but good entertainment and a bit different from normal samurai movies.
