Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The film's escalation of tension is almost unbearable, and Mifune erupts with a ferocity that's as righteous as it is ultimately tragic, for Kobayashi refuses to soften the film's devastating imbalance of power.

Austerely anti-authoritarian.

As extreme a samurai film as I've seen in both senses (the ethics and the violence), and one of the best.
