Entertainment Weekly, 12/5/2003, p.63, "...[A] rousing, smoothly assembled historical fantasia....A handsome epic..." Los Angeles Times, 12/05/2003, p.C1, "THE LAST SAMURAI affords the sort of fizzy enjoyment that can come with epic movie endeavors, including a meticulously detailed world unlike our own, an excellent supporting cast and some pulse-pounding fights." New York Times, 12/05/2003, p.E1, "Mr. Zwick has absorbed the lethal agility of Akira Kurosawa; what registers just as powerfully as the sureness of the combatants is the ugly futility of the battles themselves." Chicago Sun-Times, 12/05/2003, p.39, "Beautifully designed, intelligently written, acted with conviction, it's an uncommonly thoughtful epic." Widescreen Review, 06/01/2006, p.61, "THE LAST SAMURAI is another stirring Civil War-era epic directed by Edward Zwick." Sight and Sound, 02/01/2004, p.50, "[With] some of the most impressively realised battles this side of Middle Earth." Title NoteTheatrical Release Date: December 5, 2003 Release NoteBlu-ray Disc Features: Blu-ray Disc Features: Product NotesEdward Zwick directs this sumptuously designed, action-packed period epic that stars Tom Cruise as Captain Nathan Algren. Algren, a former Civil War hero, is adrift in 1870s San Francisco after the war, a lost soul struggling to stay afloat in a booze-soaked stupor. When he is recruited by the Japanese government to train the Emperor's army, he departs for the unknown shores of Japan and begins training the soldiers in American military tactics. But these skills are useless against a band of samurai rebels led by the proud warrior Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe), and Algren is easily defeated. He is taken to a remote samurai village where he learns samurai warrior codes and ways of life, developing a deep bond with Katsumoto and sharing philosophical conversations with him. Caught between the feudal culture of the ancient samurai warriors and the encroachment of modern society, Algren is forced to choose between his own culture or Katsumoto's. THE LAST SAMURAI is lavish in its dramatic period costumes and intense performances, and will thrill fans of both historical drama and action films.
