director: Takashi Miiki
starring: Koji Yakusho · Takayuki Tamada · Yusuke Iseya · Goro Inagaki

Cult director Takashi Miike (85 feature films between 1991-2011, including ICHI THE KILLER, GOZU and AUDITION) delivers a bravado action film loosely based on SHOGUN'S SHADOW, set at the end of Japan's feudal era. The story deals with a group of elite samurai secretly enlisted to bring down a sadistic lord in order to prevent him from ascending to the throne and plunging the country into a war torn future. Terrific action sequences and top notch acting makes this one of Miike's "must-see" films.

A Japanese film; original widescreen format (16:9), international version (125 minutes) in DVD encoded for REGION ONE NTSC, playable on any American DVD machine; in Japanese language with optional English subtitles. Extras include behind the scenes and interviews.
