excellent

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2005)

i think this movie is one of the best that i have ever seen. it is about what happens to one washed up American military man when he is captured by samurai. while in captivity he discovers a new way of life that he had never known before. tom cruise does an excellent job of playing captain nathan algren. in my mind i think he should have won the Oscar for his portrayal. he really brings the character to life. along side of cruise we have ken watanabe, who portrays the samurai leader. watanabe character, katsumoto, is the one who captures nathan and bring him back to his camp. he shows nathan the way of the samurai and shows many similarities with the captain.
