This is neither one of Zwick's or Cruises best films, but it's not bad. It's not the sweeping epic it probably could (or should) have been, but it's an entertaining and rousing action/adventure film nonetheless. If I were more familair with Japanese culture and history, I'd probably have a lot more negative things to

Never have I yelled t the screen more than during this movie. Amazing from start to finish. Tom Cruise did a great job in a role that pretty much anyone could have done and he made it his own.
