    Worth watching

    If you like Twilight Samurai, then this movie would definitely suits you. Almost in the same period, with similar setting and a decent hero that we will love since the beginning, Inemuri Iwane is the movie that you all have been waiting for.

    Swordplays are believable and intense but not too much bloodbath, so no need to worry about too much violence. Romance scenes are tender and touching, emotions are delivered by longing gaze rather than embraces and kisses. We will drawn into our hero's passion for his love one, not by passionate love but with sincere heart.

    Hope for a sequel.

    Definitely 8/10.

    Like an old horse running out of steam half way through the race.

    I watched this because the trailer has that Twilight Samurai feel. And for the first half or so, it did. It was intriguing and the fight scenes were brilliant. Then after that it just dragged and was boring and slow. A whole samurai film turned into an educational film on the intricacy of the Edo period banking industry.

    Well, at least there is a romance in the story right? Wrong.

    The ending was confusing and leaves you with a very dissatisfied feeling of being cheated after sitting through a full 2 hours.

    1 star for each 10% that was good, about the first 40%.
