Despite the mindless commentary from other reviewers on this forum, those with patience will be rewarded with a richly traditional Japanese story, with breathtaking sets and plenty of action towards the conclusion. The storyline is quite complex and fast moving, so the non-Japanese audience will enjoy the film more from a quick pre-reading regarding the context and outline of this story.

I was waiting for Tom Cruise to appear because I thought he was "The Last Samurai!" Nonetheless, it was a good Japanese movie.
