★★★

There’s a poster for this movie at an izakaya I like. The movie is stylish and cool, but not as stylish or cool as the poster. The compositing for the sword kills doesn’t look very good but it wasn’t too distracting. It’s 30-45 minutes longer than it needs to be though. Are there any beat takeshi movies where he doesn’t play the coolest guy on the planet? Not complaining just curious.
