Good Story AVG. Acting.

Rating: 5/10 (5 September 2004)

Good story, great scenery. It's a shame that Tom Cruise got the part as the "token white guy," because he really stunk. I mean, some actors, you can feel how they are supposed to be feeling because of the body language they portray to the camera, but this one.... I have seen more emotion on a wall.
Other than that it is well worth watching.
The battle scenes are excellent. A lot of beautiful imagery throughout the movie. The story was interesting enough to entice me to want to read more about this topic.
I think the "Tribal Leader" (head of the Samurai) was an excellent actor, and did a really great job.
