Day 60 - The Hidden Blade (Japanese)






"The plot revolves around several samurai during a time of change in the ruling and class structures of Japan. The film was written by Yamada with Yoshitaka Asama and, like its predecessor The Twilight Samurai, based on a short story by Shūhei Fujisawa"


A good movie but slow at times. It felt like the plot was underwritten despite its length. There have been more story and a better direction style. Also the acting at times seems un-natural and you can't always feel for the characters.
It has potential but needed to be more dramatic as all the sad scenes weren't sad at all.
Overall I would only suggest this film if you like samurai movies


2/5
