In Japan, Civil War veteran Captain Woodrow Algren trains Emperor Meiji's troops in the way of the gun as they prepare to defeat the last of the country's samurais.

The white dude is a Merc.

And it's going to be an excellent film.

tom cruise is captured by the samurais after a battle between the europeans vs. the japanese

so when he is in captive he sees the japanese's story of things or whatever the war is about and decides to join the japanese because he believes that the europeans are doing the wrong thing

thats the story of the whole movie. something along those lines at least.

yea back then some parts of jap refused to modernize and unite with the rest of the country. I find it funny when the samurai have all the swords and shit vs. guns lol

My first impression of the trailer was "is he supposed to be japanese?" Although, they explained the premise of the movie better in another trailer.It looks like a kickin film. :thumbsup:

He's white for a reason, he's plays a captured European general. Read the synopsis. I think it looks great.

PS just watched HERO, the new Jet Li flick it was AWESOME.

But I liked it yea.

Looking forward to this movie, I can't wait I love samurai/swords.

this is the most harshest period in Japanese history... the samurais are betrayed by the government and are slaughtered..... man.. brutal.

Absolutely amazing from an acting standpoint...some of the expressions on the little kids Tom lives with are wonderfully authentic. One of Tom Cruises best performances. Those of you that don't like him personally or physically must admit that his skills are incredible. The action was thrilling and the movie keeps you engaged from the opening credits. This is a must see if you are a fan of the art of acting....

just saw the movie... i think after reading all the reviews I expected more from the movie so I only rate it a 7/10.
Anyone else noticed that the young emperor in the movie looked like one of the mods on beyond?

I saw it yesterday, great movie! My only complaint is that at the end when tom cruz gets shot by the mini gun, there had to be at least 3-5 bullets that when through him! I was expecting tom cruz to die right after katsumoto.....then he hobbles into the emporors chamber :dunno: I really think he should have died on the battlefield with that many bullets in him (remember that this is in the 1800's and medical technology is not that great), so this would be the only "hollywood" scene in the movie. Otherwise it was one of the best movies i have ever seen, its up there with Braveheart, and Gladiator.:thumbsup:

Best movie of the year by far and one of the best movies I have ever seen. The only movie I can compare it to is Braveheart.
