All rights reserved.The Last Samurai (2004, DVD)
| Movie Description Edward Zwick directs this sumptuously designed, action-packed period epic that stars Tom Cruise as Captain Nathan Algren. Algren, a former Civil War hero, is adrift in 1870s San Francisco after the war, a lost soul struggling to stay afloat in a booze-soaked stupor. When he is recruited by the Japanese government to train the Emperor's army, he departs for the unknown shores of Japan and begins training the soldiers in American military tactics. But these skills are useless against a band of samurai rebels led by the proud warrior Katsumoto (Ken Watanabe), and Algren is easily defeated. He is taken to a remote samurai village where he learns samurai warrior codes and ways of life, developing a deep bond with Katsumoto and sharing philosophical conversations with him. Caught between the feudal culture of the ancient samurai warriors and the encroachment of modern society, Algren is forced to choose between his own culture or Katsumoto's. THE LAST SAMURAI is lavish in its dramatic period costumes and intense performances, and will thrill fans of both historical drama and action films.

Top Reviews  A Little Long In Running Time....Review created: 04/27/07 by:  4 of 6 people found this review helpful. A Little Long In Running Time.... But well worth watching! Tom Cruise comes across well as the main character in this movie, and the other actors do a fine job also! This is a great period time piece and has enough action to make a guy stay and watch it also! Recommended viewing! Michael Review ID: 10000000003443192 Was this review helpful?

Report this review WOW FREE WII OR PLAYSTATION3Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first: http://www.youtube.com/wa Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you, this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3 different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with nothing else to buy...No commitments!!! There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.) Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own personal link after your orders placed. Step 1: Click this link http: http://www.YourPS34free.c Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and best). Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and refer up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad). Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping Is Free!!!) For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the company that is behind everything. http://www.trainn.org/rev If you have any questions feel free to message me!! I'll Respond ASAP.

Report this review A movie unlike other Cruise's deliveriesReview created: 06/25/08 by: I feel Cruise delivered an excellent portrayal in this movie. I am a history buff, and once I heard this movie was being made, with Cruise playing a Civil War guy turned Samurai, I was shocked. I know Cruise is an excellent actor, and this one I just had to see for myself. Loved it from the get go. Started slow but progressed quickly. Review ID: 10000000007704970 Was this review helpful?
