Top review

4/10

Like an old horse running out of steam half way through the race.

I watched this because the trailer has that Twilight Samurai feel. And for the first half or so, it did. It was intriguing and the fight scenes were brilliant. Then after that it just dragged and was boring and slow. A whole samurai film turned into an educational film on the intricacy of the Edo period banking industry.

Well, at least there is a romance in the story right? Wrong.

The ending was confusing and leaves you with a very dissatisfied feeling of being cheated after sitting through a full 2 hours.

1 star for each 10% that was good, about the first 40%.
