Tom you have finally won me over

Rating: Null/10 (7 December 2003)

I realize that I am probably in the minority (no pun intended) when I say that I am not a big Tom Cruise fan. Well after seeing The Last Samauri I have to say that is no longer true. Cruise did a magnificent job in this beautiful epic story. From his drunken entrance into the movie, to his alcohol dt's to his final fight scene and presentation of Katsumoto's sword to Emperor Meiji. Cruise's performance moved me like none of his other films every did. Kudos to Ken Watanabe for a very strong performance as Samurai leader Katsumoto. Edward Zwick thanks for this tribute to the Samurai warriors.
