and that´s not the only thing, it´s really just another movie saved by De Niro´s performance and admittedly, some nice moments with the Norwegian actor, but overall, this movie belonged in the sixties or even fifties to be thrilling AND the way the story was handled had to be revised, I mean, there were buildups which didn´t get any followups, but instead went flat on their face (and personally I did not particularly like the way the title was explained, I mean, this should have been more pronounced, ronin Sam who turned out to have a "mystical" master to serve after all and ronin Vincent who has to commit sepuku? come on!)
