Convoluted Plot and Too Much Talk Drag Down An Otherwise Well-Made Film

There are moments in this film that are up there alongside the best Japanese films have to offer, with wonderfully evocative black & white shots of parasols in the snow and well-staged fight scenes. The cast are all fine, and Mifune especially is as great as ever, but there is far too much narration slathered over an overcomplicated plot, which slows down the story and makes connecting to and caring about the events harder than it need be. Still a handsome example of Japanese cinema at its peak.

Strong

I discovered this little gem by chance and liked it instantly. Samurai Assassin is one of those great samurai movies that provide more than just some sword action - they are also a glimpse into a very different but fascinating culture and time. If you like those "silent" passages (means no fighting action) of movies like Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, Samurai Assassin is a treasure for you to discover. Great piece with great acting and production.

First-class Film

A first-class film that excels in script, cinematography and acting. It is difficult to name a lot of films that are so well conceived of and executed. The plot is amazing and the twists are well-crafted. The narrator seems an imposition at the start but as the film progresses it only adds to the mood. I found the movement (pace) of the film delightful, juxtaposed between the swift and the languid. Of course, for most of us outside the idiom of Japanese cinema the acting maybe described as melodramatic, but that's pretty much the norm there. And how can anyone not comment on the film's last scene - the snow, the blood, the twist of fate, the camera moves like an assassin itself. I highly recommend it.

A complicated tale but delivers the action

Samurai Assassin is a complicated story but easier to follow than director Okomoto's excellent Sword of Doom made a year later. While it is clear that the band of assassins is seeking revenge on an official for an earlier purge on the assassins' clans, we never learn about the original reasons for their enmity. Historically, the disagreements concerned relations with foreign countries who were seeking to open up Japan to trade, but this is never alluded to in the film. The driving forces of the story, and they are good ones, are Niino's (Mifune) ambition to achieve full samurai rank and the paranoia of the leaders of the assassin band. These two forces interact nicely as the plot unfolds. Eijiro Tono (the innkeeper who befriends Mifune in Yojimbo) does his usual terrific job as the merchant who helped raise Niino and tries to protect him from meeting a tragic fate. Highly recommended for samurai and Mifune fans.

Brilliant, Disturbing, Fascinating Film

Everything about this movie is powerful! The acting, the direction, the music and the cinematography are Japanese cinema at its best! I usually don't like narration but the narration in this film is awesome. The only thing I can compare it to is the sound of an Uzi being fired! Mifune, at his best, conveys brilliantly the complexities of the samurai/ronin mentality! The film moves frantically through time! Sometimes it is hard to tell past from present but the entire production is so well done that it all makes perfect sense if you just pay attention! This is one of the most brutal Japanese films I have ever seen. The final confrontation takes place in a snow storm and the comparison between the softly falling snow and the bloody battle it is falling on is chilling and surreal! Unlike some of these older films the transfer to video is clear as a bell with easy to read (if a bit hurried) subtitles.

[Einosuke goes to the Sagamiya House, and enters the room where Tsuruchiyo is staying. He finds Tsuruchiyo lying flat on his back on the floor, surrounded by sake bottles and snoring like a drain]
Einosuke Kurihara: Niiro.
[Tsuruchiyo doesn't wake up. Einosuke shakes the sleeping swordsman's shoulder]
Einosuke Kurihara: Niiro.
[Tsuruchiyo wakes up with a grunt. He heaves himself up]
Tsuruchiyo Niiro: Ugh... what's up?
Einosuke Kurihara: What do you mean, "what's up"? I heard from Kojima Kaname that you're here all the time, so I became worried. Come on, let's go home.
[Tsuruchiyo blearily rubs his neck and scratches the back of his ear]
Einosuke Kurihara: Don't worry about the bill... I've taken care of it.
Tsuruchiyo Niiro: What did you say?
Einosuke Kurihara: I've taken care of it, the whole thing.
Tsuruchiyo Niiro: [defensively] It's none of your concern. Madam Okiku took the money from you, then?
Einosuke Kurihara: No, I didn't see the Madam. I was told that she was visiting a lumber-yard in Fuyuki Village, in Fukagawa. This struck me as somewhat strange, but... I paid the head clerk.
Tsuruchiyo Niiro: [indignantly] Like I told you, you should've minded your own business! You don't pay the clerk! But, the fact that she went to the Fuka-gawa lumberyard is interesting. The fact that Okiku did that...
[He laughs]
Tsuruchiyo Niiro: Now that makes me laugh!
[He laughs even louder and more uproariously]
