Synopsis:
A poverty-stricken samurai named Hanshiro Tsugumo arrives at the manor of a feudal lord under the pretense of wanting to find a suitable place to commit seppuku. The lord sees this as a bluff, as many hard up samurai had made the same request in hopes of getting a hand-out. However, Tsugumo’s true motive is to complete the last part of his vengeance.

Das Original ist von Masaki Kobayashi (Samurai Rebellion,Kwaidan, The Human Condition)), wunderschön in schwarz weiß gefilmt. In der Hauptrolle Tatsuya Nakadai, in seiner zweitbesten vielleicht sogar besten Darbietung. Schon allein einen Ersatz für Nakadai zu finden dürfte schwierig sein.
Wer das Original kennt der braucht kein Remake. Aber den Kids wirds gefallen. Etwas flashigere Kämpfe, mehr Blut und schon sind alle glücklich.
