The Last Samurai is one of the most impressive looking films to come around in a while. Every aspect of the movie's visuals - from the set design to the costumes - is virtually immaculate in its presentation, turning the film into a piece of Oscar bait more than anything else.
Set in the late 1800s, The Last Samurai stars Tom Cruise as Nathan Algren, a disillusioned soldier reduced to touring the country hawking rifles. His chance for redemption comes when a fellow soldier, Colonel Bagley (Tony Goldwyn), offers Algren a job training Japanese recruits how to fight like Americans, with guns. But after he is captured by a group of Samurai warriors, lead by the enigmatic Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe), Algren begins to identify with their plight and eventually joins them in their fight against the Japanese army, which has been charged with the task of eliminating all the remaining Samurai. Nathan Algren changes sides and jons a war he cannot win!
The movie is certainly not bad, its also not tremendously entertaining, but its worth looking at! Timothy Spall and Billy Connoly are good too!
Here is the trailer...
