Good movie added to my collection of DVDs n blue rays

recently saw this movie with my 14 year old son. he loved it.

Great movie with a solid amount of action and story.

One of Tom Cruise's best performancs ever. Great movie

Excelent movie, for a minimum price.................!

We enjoyed the movie thoroughly- it is a great movie

already knew this movie so I knew I would enjoy it

My husband loves this movie. Me, not so much. Not a big Tom Cruise fan and he’s not believable as a Samurai wannabe. But the story is good and with another lead, I would have liked it better

This may serve as a tale of the Meiji restoration, how the Shogun managed to establish Japan from medieval stasis.

This was just a classic movie that I had to pick up. When I was at Best Buy it was only a few bucks so I could not pass down that offer.

I was rather surprised by how well the story about some Japanese lifestyle was to a foreigner. And the customs they had to obey.

A lot of people won't be thrilled about this movie, but it is one that I like having in my collectionl

Great price for this movie. Couldn't pass it up. Adding to wife's Tom Cruise collection.

The thought of Tom Cruise being a samurai warrior just could not be done.

Good historical war flick and one of cruises best performances.

Got this for my son and he really liked it. Lots of action.

As stated above,,,, just Ok. Bluray copy looks great

For an older movie it was ok. Need movies for cabin.

Good movie Steelbook was not in new condition . Came with a dent that looked like it did not occur during shipping.

I do not normally care for Tom Cruise movies, but this one is outstanding. It is a wonderful story based on Japan's attempt to modernize in the late 1870s. One cultural mainstay has been the Samurai, their honor code, their wisdom, and the respect they commanded. The advisors to the Emperor convince him all the old ways, especially the Samurai, need to be eliminated. Tom Cruise, a war hero who once fought with Custer, is brought to Japan to teach the Japanese Army the western warfare of guns, cannons, and strategy. In a conflict with a powerful Samurai (Ken Watanbe), Tom Cruise is captured and taken back to the isolated village of the Samurai as a prisoner. It is a rare glimpse into the former Japanese culture, the ways of the Samurai, and how Tom Cruise falls in love with these people and their simple and graceful ways. Ultimately, there is a battle between the new Japanese Army and the last Samurai, with Tom Cruise fighting on the side of the Samurai. You will be mesmerized by the story, the scenery, and the battle scenes. It is now one of my favorite movies and I watch it when I want my spirits lifted. Of course, Blu-Ray makes it all the more beautiful.
