4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, July 11, 1999

By A Customer

Well I thought it was pretty good, and I'm a fan of the genre too. Nowhere near as good as any of the Kurosawa films like Yojimbo and Sanjuro but better than most of the Baby Cart films.

1.0 out of 5 stars If you watch this, you too will have Sleepy Eyes, January 20, 1999

By A Customer

. If you're expecting a dark, antihero samurai drama like the premise suggests, you will be sorely disappointed. Although the basic plot is potentially interesting, the dialogue is contrived, the acting is extremely overdone, the sets are amateuristic, and the action sequences are slow and stagey. It's like a bad TV episode. I am a big fan of the genre, but I could not sit through this film in its entirety.
