Acclaimed filmmaker Bernard Rose has created a stunning visual feast complemented by a haunting score from iconic composer Philip Glass. Inspired by a race still held annually in Japan, Samurai Marathon is a lively action flick with a samurai twist. In late feudal Japan, a young ninja (Satoh) operates undercover in the court of an aging lord and his rebellious daughter. When the lord challenges his lazy samurai to a punishing marathon-joined covertly by Princess Yuki-the ninja finds his loyalties put to the test. Facing impossible odds, this unusual band of characters is running a race to either win or die.

평가 및 리뷰

This was a good story told fairly well. I'd have to say that it was just OK. The lush scenery was fantastic. The acting was good. Unfortunately, the timing of the subtitles was off by several seconds and at least a third of the dialogue was not translated at all. For this reason, I would not recommend it at all for anyone who does not understand Japanese.
