Movie Review - 47 Ronin (2013) Directed by Carl Rinsch. Starring Keanu Reeves, Hiroyuki Sanada, Tadanobu Asano, Ko Shibasaki and Rinko Kikuchi. In this fictionalised account of the Japanese legend a band of ronin seek to avenge their master who was tricked into dishonouring his land. With the help of a half-breed demon they assault the castle of Lord Kira to demonstrate their duty and their loyalty.While all the trailers make this out to be a Keanu Reeves film, the real star here is Hiroyuki Sanada, the leader of the 47 Ronin, who plays his role with quiet dignity and subdued emotion. The concepts of loyalty and duty are expressed perfectly in a fine performance that is the highlight of the film and he should rightly be praised. Keanu Reeves is decent as the outsider and his role is one that is mostly withdrawn and distant in an emotional sense. For more details: flickeringmyth/2013/12/movie-review-47-ronin-2013.html
