Review

Samurai comes to the town where is conflicts going on between two groups. He joins to another side only to find out that they try to betray him. He later joins to another group but he does not work for them either as they have excepted. Instead this man seems to cause more trouble and chaos to town until he finally makes the fights end and he returns to peace to this town.

This was well made movie with lots of good camera usage. I liked for example how in some scenes so much is told about the current situation and reactions without moving the camera in some time, the composition and the positioning of the characters are really well thought. Story is interesting and gives some thoughts to the viewer, pacing of the movie is slow and nice and everything just works very well. Totally worth seeing.
