Hara - Kiri: Death Of A Samurai
When Bushido meets humanity. This is an incredible film, from its fantastic measured acting, the beautiful score by Ryuichi Sakamoto and a battle scene at the end which is incredible. This film is both moving and thought provoking 10 out of 10
I have not seen the original but I enjoyed this a great deal.

Not sure if I have seen that?
I have two of his collections here on blu ray, the whole Dirty Harry series I have watched. But I also have Gran Torino, Flags Of Our Fathers, Letters From Iwo Jima, Mystic River & Unforgiven (which I have seen), must find the time
Ok, ok...
I just think he has been astonishing as a director, though yes, he's still a great actor.
Perhaps it's just me, but I never expected him to make that leap, though he certainly did & bravo!
I guess he felt lucky - punk
