6/10
I don't generally like samurai movies, but I like Takashi Miike movies, so I gave this one a shot. It's definitely way, way more on the samurai side than the Miike side. It's a remake of a movie I've never seen, and it's in 3D (in what might be the most subtle usage of 3D ever, almost to the point of being useless), and it's definitely the most mature movie Miike has ever made. It's remarkably slow, and its eventual climax doesn't even come close to comparing to, say, 13 Assassins or Audition. It's a movie I admired more than I liked though, as it never really sucked me in. Enjoyable enough though.
