ok and so i be settle down for 2 hour of fun nonsense and i love a good samurai flick . but i have to resist the urge to dump this movie after an hour and but i stick with it hop maybe for a great finale . but it never come . this could have be a great movie they have the budget and some great supporting actor and a fun idea . but the whole thing lack conviction . the fight sequence be well set up and but fell between the two stool of the hard realism of zatoichi or twilight samuri and or balletic grace of a zhang yimou action flick . the main problem be the actor have there ever be a more wimpy bunch of action hero . aya ueto be completely unconvincing and michelle yeoh would use this girl a a toothpick . the script seem to have be write by a bored 15 year old on a wet afternoon . be it too much to expect a bit of wit and some good dialogue and even from a cartoon action movie . the vague attempt to give the character depth be embarrassingly bad . the cinematography be straight out of a cheap afternoon tv movie . the only really good thing about this movie be the baddie a good range of character actor do fun turn but when i find myself wish that the bad guy would cut up the good guy i know the movie onto a loser . i really wish i could say something nicer about this movie and but i really feel it be 2 hour lose from my life .
