It's just okay

Honestly, this is one of the most middle of the road samurai movies I've ever seen, which makes it hard to review and talk about it any detail. I was attracted to it because it the cast (led by the always great Toshiro Mifune), but found myself let down by the story and the way it unfolded, and which really failed to grab or engage me the way I'd hope a good to great movie would.

Nothing about it is spectacularly bad, but it's one of those lesser known movies that finished and thought to myself, "Okay, I guess I kind of know why this movie isn't particularly well known." It feels bad to say that about a film that's not terrible, but at the same time, Yagyu Secret Scrolls isn't particularly good either.
