As a big fan of old-time samurai movies like Yojimbo, Seven Samurai, Zatoichi and their ilk, I was predisposed to like this one, too. That being said, it's far from perfect: the 80 minutes or so leading up to the battle royale finale could have been used more efficiently, and the "cheap-laughs" comic relief character really strained my suspension of disbelief (wait til almost the very end and you'll see what I mean). FYI: The deleted scenes bonus feature contained a few interesting surprises, not all very suitable for younger viewers.
