“This film takes considerable creative liberties with a real event from the Boshin Civil War, during which the small Shibata domain in northern Japan switched allegiances between opposing forces. It introduces a fictional element, a small squad of criminals tasked with defending an isolated outpost caught between the two armies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, itu0026#39;s a well-crafted period piece-visually impressive and competently acted. However, the storyline is fairly predictable, following a familiar pattern of defenders falling one by one. While some characters feel underdeveloped, others manage to leave a lasting impression.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film shares some similarities with Miikeu0026#39;s 13 Assassins but lacks the same level of intensity. Viewers shouldnu0026#39;t expect much beyond an entertaining action movie that occasionally surprises with its violent and gory moments.”
