I did not enjoy this movie. I know that it is by Kurasawa, a master. I know that it stars Mifume. It seemed like ninety-minutes of running back and forth without much of a point. There is a certain tongue-in-cheek element to it, but other than spawning an occasional grin, the movie did not reach out and grab me. It is no Kagemusha, Ran, or Ikiru.
