Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
As extreme a samurai film as I've seen in both senses (the ethics and the violence), and one of the best.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

fresh:
Austerely anti-authoritarian.
– Chuck Stephens,
Village Voice,
16 Aug 2005
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.
