畫面不錯，劇情普普通通 宣揚的武士道精神有點太浪漫化了
I love Bioshock Infinite I watched this flick with no subtitles and it still went crazy. It’s wild I’ve never seen this one before. This totally falls In line with other classics like The Patriot or Hidalgo. Tom Cruise is firing at all cylinders here and gives an absolutely incredible performance. He is excellent at playing charming rogues and soulless douchebags and his best roles like this one are when he treads the line between both. Algren is someone who is haunted by his past, who does not fear death but at times wishes for it. In the course of this story he learns to reclaim his honor and helps give an honorable end to The Last Samurai.
