Japan history - American interpretation

Rating: Null/10 (24 January 2010)

American story about modern Japan. Hollywood's ingredients and a Tom Cruise dedicate to his work, Ken Wanatabe as hero by western definition, some slices of history and drops of atmosphere. It is not a bad movie but the taste after its end is dusty. Same recipes and same rules. The image of great American who moves a world to progress. Beautiful images and usual ingredients. The real facts as pretext. And the heroic values as steak for market. For a Friday evening - the perfect option. In fact, a story about lessons of life, human relations and the other like mirror of himself. Action and honor. Old story, interesting acting, some Oscar nominations and the same Cruise as perfect machine in the fight against the role.
