Review of Azumi (2003) by Lesley N — 28 Jul 2010
It's always good to have a girl as the lead in one of these swordfighting Shogun epics. And the set-up's good too, starting with ten orphans, reared to kill, duelling to decide which five survivors will fulfil their mission to end all war.
The bad part was the bleak and relentless killing. After an hour or so and hundreds of deaths later, one of the side characters urges Azumi to put down her sword, "I don't want to see any more killing".
Couldn't agree more.
