Dances with Wolves...but with Samurai

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2004)

Dances with Wolves...but with Samurai. Cruise does Costner and Dances with Wolves but this time with Samurai. The plot is almost exactly the same. Nice photography and battle sequences are very realistic but this film loses so much impact for its lack of originality and is a touch too 'Hollywoodish' with an unncessarily and amateurish narration at the start and finish. Not a bad film, nor a particulary good one either. Above average 7/10
