(más)Reseñas (2)
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.

Interesting actors, among others, a few Czech faces will also appear here, which you may know, definitely Pavel Kříž, but considering that it is a strangely medieval drama about revenge, I expected something different than a lengthy, pseudo-psychological play that has a quite clear outcome. Then you have to watch everything with a proper dose of pathos.
