The Sword of the Beast

Japanese writer and director Hideo Gosha made a breath taking action thriller with film that's also one of the most entertaining. The film starts with a jolt as a samurai is hunted by the daughter of the man he has killed along with her fiancee and loyal followers. The samurai is clearly guilty but he seems a good man whose motives are explained later when he runs into a couple like himself who are on the run from the authorities. Gosha highlights the action while keeping his story and characters in order that makes for an entertaining film full of humor and drama. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
