Great action film. Fans of Keanu Reeves will definitely want to see it and add it to their collection. The Blu-Ray version provides the best insight for how an epic story like this is developed.

The true story (1702) is of honor and tradition; of which this flick addresses neither. Who is Keanu Reeves, no real character fits in true story and their are no traditional ghosts to fit the bill. The Lord Asano had to commit seppuku, an honorary form of sucicide reserved for lords and samurai; he was not murdered. Definitely geared to the uninformed in our society that needs a visual fx flick to enhance their drug induce state of mind. The money spent on the production of this film could have been used to tell the true story and it would have done a hell of a lot better at the box-office. I only had to pay a couple bucks more for the home copy than what I would have spent in the theater without paying parking (so I did save money)and my other friends that appreciate Japanese fact are also getting the opportunity to see what Hollywood (or wherever this was made)has to offer to add to the lack of knowledge our society is operating under at this time. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY IF YOU HAVE ANY INTELLIGENCE!Read full review

A window into Japan's society and their thinking. I found it very entertaining with just enough mysticism to make the story flow.
