Review

One man from small village hears that robbers are coming later to their town to steal all what they have. They have done it before already, but he hears that they will come again. He tells what he have heard to others and they decide to go and find help from samurais. Since they are poor they can't pay to samurais except the food but they find seven samurais to help them to defence against group of robbers what are coming.

This was interesting movie. Story develops slowly but steadily and it does not feel too long even tho the movie is almost three and half hour. Still it is enjoyable to watch. It has a little bit of humour, it have nice visual style and it have interesting story.

Worth the watch, but for me this was not the best Kurosawa movie I have seen and personally I enjoyed Throne of Blood more.
