Sohan Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Did anyone catch this film? I really enjoyed it--it was billed as somewhat of a stylistic tribute to Kirosawa's films, but I enjoyed seeing a movie about judo as a change. It actually made my wife cry, though she is a bit more emotional than I. I thought the title was a terrible choice. I nearly passed it by until I saw it was about judo. The plot involves a former judo champion who was drinking his life away until two strangers came along to help him redeem himself. For a westerner, some of the acting may seem over the top but I thought it was on par with any of the better gung fu/karate/etc films I have seen over the years.Respectfully,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."
