Dances with Wolves in Japan

Rating: 4/10 (26 September 2005)

Algren (Cruise) is a drunk guilt ridden US Cavalry captain, who replaces his guilt with a sense of honour amongst the Samurai.
Cruise appears to be made of the same stuff as the Terminator as near the end of the film, despite being riddled bullets from a Gatling gun, he survives and returns to the village to get the girl.
Pretty predictable story. Lots of posing. Lots of blood/no sex. Cardboard characters. Enjoyable if you send your brain on vacation.
I bought the DVD with all the features but I don't think I'll bother with looking at them. I was hoping for more from this film, but unfortunately the Hollywood film industry has just produced another carbon copy historical adventure with not much actual adventure or innovation to make it stand out.
