Seven Samurai review
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Great movie but for those looking for action it does start out slow and periodically gets more intense as it goes on. For a black & white foreign flick, its really good. I didnt even mind reading subtitles. Listening to it in its native language somehow added to the experience. I can honestly say I was entertained by this film for the 3 hours it runs for
