Superb acting by Tom Cruise and superb directing by Edward Zwick. This film takes place 1876. A very depressed decorated civil war soldier named Nathan Algren(Tom Cruise) is asked to go to Japan to train the Japanese men into shooting soldiers. During a battle with a Samurai. Another Samurai warrior(Ken Wantanbe) takes interest in him. When Algren wounded in battle. The Samurai leader takes him to there country. Where Algren soon learns to adapt. The best war movie so for. It's Braveheart and Dances With Wolves mix together almost. It had great scenery and great battle scenes. Also a great performance by Tom Cruise. And great acting by the rest of the cast. And terrific directing by Edward Zwick.
