Críticas (3)
Interesting actors, but considering that it's a strangely medieval drama about revenge, I expected something different than a lengthy, pseudo-psychological game, which has a quite clear outcome. Then you have to watch everything with a good dose of pathos.

I was looking forward to it so much, and in the end it was only a three. The film can't be denied an interesting story, nice visuals, fine actors (Clive Owen is great here), but I am not too happy with the pace and the action. It's quite unbalanced, the action is mostly at the beginning and at the end, which is a shame, not that I was bored during the film, but I missed some moment that would have kicked up to a four stars. A strong three 65%

Such an altogether rather well done Western/Eastern mashup, basically 47 Rōnin as a Western. The acting certainly isn't bad, but given that I was pretty clear on how it was going to turn out (what Japanophile wouldn't know that, either), some things didn't surprise me at all, and I found it kind of clunky/sloppy here and there. Just a passable revenge movie, but lacking that extra something, a certain charm that would make you sit and gape. It's beautiful how Ihara tries to speak flawless English, he speaks so beautifully slow and choppy.
