A poor thief is living in ancient Japan and minding his own business. Suddenly, he's told that he looks like the warlord Shingen. He's then assigned to play his double in a modern take on an ancient Japanese samurai story. The Shingen was dying, so the thief ended up replacing him entirely. Oh boy, let's get into this review.
I didn't like this movie. Not because it was necessarily bad, but I don't think I could ever enjoy a movie that's not in English. Of course, there were good parts, such as the artsy scene that's placed above, but overall it just felt like a drag. I do have to say, this is the best foreign film I've seen all year. I really wish I enjoyed it more, but in this universe, I think it was pretty negligible.
