47 Ronin - Samurai, need I say more

I love a good action film that involve samurai.  Doesn't everyone?  Well, if you do, you should definitely go see 47 Ronin starring Keanu Reeves as Kai, the half-breed slave.  It's full of mystic, mayhem, and melee.

Kai is asked to help Oishi get revenge on Kira for murdering their master and marrying his daughter, Mika.  Kai and Mika have a forbidden love because of their different heritages.  After a year of banishment, Oishi rounds up his samurai group of warriors to take down Kira who has a witch doing his bidding.

The sword play in this feature is great!  I love to see good hand to hand combat along with the slicing and dicing of a samurai sword.  There is little blood even with all the fighting, and only 2 heads roll, so if you don't like blood and guts, then you are in luck because this PG-13 movie keeps the excitement of fighting without the gore.  If you or your man likes a great fantasy action film based on some truths, then 47 Ronin is for you.
