Very Ordinary Effort

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 2003)

The Discovery Channel would have captured more about the Life of a Samurai in half an hour. Everything else in this movie is formulaic and done before. They spent $ 140MM making this! Go, re-rent Braveheart or Glory.

I generally like Cruise movies (Rain Man, Magnolia, Minority Report), but this was very unoriginal and seems like a lame attempt to get an Oscar.
