Hirokin

I didn't have a lot of expectations for this movie. And thankful for that, because this movie fails to deliver. Most of the movie is unoriginal, stealing from movies like Star Wars and Gladiator. I can't imagine how they titled this as "samurai." The movie has a reasonable cast, but the script is lacking. The acting itself is almost passable but there is failure in execution by poor directing. The quality of action sequences varies greatly. The sword play scenes suffer the most with poor choreography and lousy cinematography.

There was definitely potential, limited as it may have been. But the movie just doesn't carry forward, and the movie drags on.
