I love the Lone Wolf & Cub series and even though this movie is just cut together its still good.
The atmosphere in the movie is authentic. Costumes, weapons, language (according to a japaese friend) are all well done. And combat action is just awesome. Limbs flying, blood splashing and heads being cut off - this is swordfighting at its finest.
I probably watched the movie 4-5 times already and enjoy it every single time.
Story-wise its certainly not as deep as the Lone Wolf & Cub series but still provides good entertainment and a welcome introduction to the world of Shogun assassin.
