Now if you think this movie is going to be a sword fighting movie with lots of blood, DON'T look this way!! There is only ONE fight scene in this movie!!

It really is a drama. I know the title gives you a feeling this is going to be something that it isn't!! I even think the one fight scene was a mere formality to what the movie is really about!!

There are many levels to this movie. It's about a strain family relationship. It is about escape-ism from reality via alcohol. It is about love. In all these, i think it achieves it's pupose!!

The camerawork done on this film is excellent!! I can not emphasises it enough!! It is very creative and great to watch!!

All actors do there roles, especially Sonny Chiba as a proud, controlling father.

The one action scene is ok. It's a bit too fast to know whats happening and the way the fight ends is like it was from DRAGONBALL or something!! I am not sure how the guy even gets hurt!!

The way the movie also unfolds is good. It is not till the end you fully know what is going on!!

If your looking for a sword fighting movie, you'll be really disappointed, but if your looking for a good drama, come here!!
