Excellent Japanese Samurai Movie
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Blu-ray provided an excellent picture and sound. The only thing that I didn't like about the movie is the fact it is in Japanese with English subtitles. The story is very good and the acting is excellent. It was filmed in the early 50's but it is well worth watching. It is a black and white film.

Classic movie
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Movie is 3 hours long but it doesn’t seem like it when you watch it. I watched 13 assassins first and I see where that movie got it’s influence. Glad I picked this movie up!
