When I first watched this film I went in not really knowing about the story to come, but after seeing the poster of Keanu Reeves as a samurai with what seems to be a skeleton tattoo villain. Now I'm sure you can see why I was a little disappointed when I found that the skeleton man from the poster had very limited scree time but I digress.
So this movie is a very entertaining flick that has a lot to offer; adventure, magic, and loads of Keanu Reeves. So as this story unravels there are themes of honor and pride, a fresh take on old samurai films with the same story telling finesse. However there was still something missing, so as a result this movie comes off as a little less than average.
It's because of this that I chose to give this movie a 6/10.
