Box Office, 09/01/2003, p.118, "...Impressively, the balance between the film's meditative pauses and its explosive sword fight scenes -- magnificently choreographed by Hong Kong star Donnie Yen -- could not be more effective..." Title NoteTheatrical Release: August 8, 2003 (NY); August 15, 2003 (LA) Release NoteDVD Features: Product NotesModel and rising pop star Yumiko Shaku stars as Princess Yuki in this thrilling Japanese martial arts actioner based on comic-book characters created by Kazuo Koike and Kazuo Kamimura. Yuki is the last surviving royal of the House of Takemikazuchi, who arrive in a futuristic post-apocalyptic isolationist world where they use their skills as former Mikado guards to become hired assassins. Essayist and actor Hideaki Ito plays Takashi, leader of the rebel movement, who offers Yuki a chance at revenge--and perhaps love. Theater veteran Yoichi Humata is excellent in the key role of the wise old sage Kuka, who gives Yuki information that changes her life--and her destiny. And Kyusaku Shimada is appropriately villainous as Byakurai, who has a dangerous connection to Yuki.
