The Last Samurai

Rated: R (some very violent scenes)

The battle scenes in this movie were incredible. They put you right up there on the front with soldiers on both sides.

I actually think that this is Tom Cruise's best performance ever. The story and characters were beleivable. When you find yourself feeling compassion for one charicter, detesting another one and wanting to shake some sense into yet another, then you know you have been drawn into the story and the actors are doing their job.

Recommendation:
See the movie if you have the chance. If you are a big fan of Tom Cruise, then buy it.
