Jolly good

Rating: 8/10 (26 January 2019)

Being Japanese myself I was quite intrigued with this movie. I was also impressed with Tom cruise's Japanese :)
It's always sad seeing movies about the changing times and tactics of war, from honourable one-on-one combat to indiscriminate impersonal machine gun warfare. All in all a great film that will have you hooked.
Funny aside: my bro-in-law asked me what the inscription on the samurai sword said (near the end of the movie) and I replied, "jolly good". Then we cracked up laughing. And then my husband said "does it really?" which made us laugh even more. It was some good comic relief considering the impending doom that was to follow!
