East and West Collide
11 March 2012
When the greatest Samurai assassin will not kill the last enemy, a baby, he becomes the number one target of his clan. So he travels to the American old west to stay with his friend. But can he truly change his life? This is a fascinating intermixing of the oriental fighting movies and the old western shoot-'em-ups. It makes one realize that they really are not that different after all. Add in a simple story, a simple subplot and lots of personal choices that must be made and you have a very solid action film. Of course part of the fun is seeing bits and pieces of some classic American westerns incorporated into the script, as well as seeing them through another culture's eyes.

This is a must see for action fans.
