Teave selle filmi kohta

In mid-19th Century Japan the era of the samurai is beginning to fade as the feudal nation begins to enjoy a rare period of peace. But the fragile calm is soon threatened by the bloody rise of Lord Naritsugu, the Shogun's sadistic, psychopathic younger brother, whose position places him above the law and free to rape, mutilate and murder on a whim.

Unfortunately this film has been stretched from it's original 2.35 : 1 aspect ratio to fill a 16 : 9 screen. 1 star for a faulty product, no reflection on the actual film, which I am unable to watch because I have no tolerence for distorted video. Edit: 13 May 14 To their credit, Google Play have refunded me promptly.

The film itself is superb, but if you appreciate the finer points of film DO NOT BUY THIS!! It is in the WRONG ASPECT RATIO, so that figures look squashed in from the sides. How this could have been offered for sale without checking is hard to believe - it gives me a headache in a few minutes. Very disappointing...

I love the old classic samurai film so thought I would take a chance on this one and I'm really pleased I did. The film doesn't hold any punches and is quite gory so if that's not your thing best look elsewhere. However if you like "against all odds to get the villain" films then you will love this film :) (4 star only because the ratio is wrong)
