Outstanding Film Production

Rating: 8/10 (19 June 2006)

Found this film held my interest from beginning to the very end despite plenty of complaints by the Reviews of the local newspapers and media. Tom Cruise,(Nathan Algren),"War of the Worlds",'05 played the role of a Civil War Captain who is enlisted by the Japanese Government to train their men in order to build up their army and Nathan gets mixed up with the Samurai who would love to chop his head off after he kills one of their great Warrior's. Koyuki,(Toka),"Spy Sorge",'03 was the wife of this warrior and Nathan Algren becomes very close to her and her children and sparks do fly between them. Toka is very beautiful and gave a great supporting role. This film gives you a picture of Civil War fighting only in Japan and the Japanese Army fights the Samurai with old out-dated equipment vs. cannon's. Very entertaining film and worth your time to view.
