Review of The Last Samurai (2003) by Movieguys — 29 May 2014
The Last Samurai is a stylish, beautifully shot, well-crafted exercise about loyalty and emotional conflict. I have to give it to the film; the transition between the Captain fighting the Japanese and embracing their culture is smooth, and doesn't feel rushed or deliberate.
And Cruise is actually pretty good in this one, a wonderful surprise. This is the movie Glory was supposed to be.
