lacking in the character and story department. First of all the movie was predictable, protagonist involved in conspiracy to steal government gold and massacre of innocent witnesses/ accomplices, protagonist feels guilty and seeks justice and revenge. What saves it from being a mediocre movie is some attention to setting an atmosphere. For example, an aqua blue sky speckled with cackling ravens, a fire storm during an avalanche, a snow covered background married to the rhythms of masked drummers and a very elegant scene involving small daggers thrown between opponents. Actors and actresses gave this movie their all but it is not as memorable as other films from this genre. If you want to see a really GREAT movie check out SWORD OF DOOM (Bosatsu Toge) also starring TATSUYA NAKADAI.
