Shikonmado - Dai tatsumaki

I was fooled by the two former reviewers' high ratings claiming this was a great samurai movie. What I saw was nothing but a lame screenplay patched up with lousy editing, bad directing and mediocre B-level acting. The only part worth seeing was the pretty leading female actress, she had tried her best to play a realistic role in a bad movie, her expressions looked real enough exactly like that stubborn young woman. The plot was too uninteresting and too loosely crafted, further deteriorated by bad dialog and unlikable male characters. I've tried very hard to keep my patience until to the middle of this movie, but then completely lost my interest, just quit to write this review.

This is a lousy movie, wasted a big budget. I don't think I could continue to watch it from where I quit to restart again for a boring movie.
