Review of Abacus and Sword (2010) by Ippei K — 06 Dec 2011

A different kind of "samurai" is depicted here and while solid, the movie is fairly unspectacular. The performances all around are impressive but you come to expect this level in a Japanese-period drama.

Good mix of humour and drama, and flows relatively well, but it's the kind of movie that you'll forget immediately after you see it. Good while it lasts...I guess.
