    Shame

    The sword fights were terrible. Yuki Meguro's efforts aside. Which is a shame because the cinematography is breathtaking.

    The most realistic sword play scenes

    The story is very simple. The acting is not that good. However, the sword fighting scene really feel realistic. Especially the one on the ice field. I don't feel they were choreographed, only showing primal instinct of someone trying to survive.

    I hope they gave clearer explanation on why the Han need to hide something from the Shogun that worth sacrificing their own samurais.
