Saw it tonight, very pleased

Amidst all the bits about honor, one of the great lines I hope this movie gets remembered for "Why are you Samurai always so arrogant?"

It's essentially a samurai-set Peckinpah film, very reminiscent of The Wild Bunch (though it's more akin to The Magnificent Seven in regards to plot). It also borrows from Saving Private Ryan near the end as well. In a nutshell, I really enjoyed it. 9/10

There's a certain irony comparing a samurai movie to "The Magnificent Seven" you know...
