" When the Last Sword is Drawn " is an outstanding piece of cinema and storytelling achievement, the characters are perfectly drawn and portrayed, the role of the " Shinsengumi " in thepower struggles at the end of the Tokogawa period is clearly defined . . . HOWEVER . . . For Western audiences not intimately familiar with the story of the " Shinsengumi " and their role in the history of Japan, I would first suggest watching the movie" Shinsegumi " with Toshiro Mifune et al. (1969 ) to first familiarize themselves with the story and the major players in this epic drama.

This is an amazing, unusual, humanistic story of a quirky, thoughtful small-town samurai who is struggling to support his family. It's NOT a traditional hack-and-slash samurai movie, it's much more about the person and his very difficult journey. I absolutely love this movie!

I actually saw this movie on hulu.com before I purchased it. I have studied the Martial Arts for over 30+ years and have been to Japan many times. This movie truly shows the heart of a warrior in every sense of the word. It had great action, it was funny, it was also very sad. Hey, it isn't easy to make me cry but this movie did just that! I won 3 Academy Awards and rightfully so. It is a wonderful film. The best movie in all of my collection. This is a real review! Many thanks!
Brilliant film from the funny little man they call tom cruise ;) good plot, fun to watch, looks amazing in blu-ray, well reccomended.
