"Beyond Rangoon" was better.

Rating: 6/10 (5 December 2003)

"The Last Samurai" was pretty much a disappointment. It had some okay parts, but it was mostly way too obvious and poorly directed. I didn`t need to be led around like an idiot. It would have been much better if someone else directed it. You can tell Hollywood rounded the edges to make the masses like it. Craptacular. "Beyond Rangoon" does a much better job of this same basic theme. "Kill Bill Volume 1" remains the best movie of the year, by a long shot.
