well and if you be one of those katana film nut ( just like me ) you sure will appreciate this metaphysical katana swing blood spit samurai action flick . star tadanobu asano ( vital and barren illusion ) and ryu daisuke ( kagemusha ) . this samurai war between heiki clan versus genji clan touch the zenith in the final showdown at gojo bridge . the body count be countless . demon and magic sword and shinto priest versus buddhist monk and the beautiful vision provide by maestro sogo ishii will do the rest . a good japanese flick for a rainy summer night .
