Fascinating movie

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 2004)

One of the greatest movies i've ever seen in my life. This movie takes us back to where words like honor, compassion, responsibility, and courage did have meaning. Together with an overwhelmingly great performance by Tom and the amazing role played by Ken Watanabe. This is a masterpiece. The story goes back to the 19th century when a war veteran (Tom Cruise) is hired by the Japanese to train their troops that fight the Samurai rebels. When he gets captured, he begins to admire the Samurai teachings and morals.
I am sure this one will be the hit of the year and will reap a bunch the Academy awards... Truely, a must-see film.
