Dropped away significantly

Rating: 6/10 (11 January 2004)

For a film that started off well, this dropped off significantly as it dragged on.
And on.
And on.
Tom Cruise as the soldier from Custer's regiment who ends up training with Samurai was his usual self. Not spectacular, but solid. The rest of the cast were competent enough, and the only real interest by the end was the insight into 19th century Japan when the Western influences started to flood in.
