A pair of down-on-their-luck swordsmen arrive in a dusty, windblown town, where they become involved in a local clan dispute. One, previously a farmer, longs to become a noble samurai. The other, a former samurai haunted by his past, prefers living anonymously with gangsters. But when both men discover the wrongdoings of the nefarious clan leader, they side with a band of rebels who are under siege at a remote mountain cabin.

pretty great I nice genre reset satire thing that was actually funny and very interesting One of my fav characters I’ve seen Nakadai play he was a nice off brand sanjuro but with its own twist Not so much to write home about I’d say but that’s not a problem Nakadai really is the star in this and the chemistry between the protagonists really carries it but ge is actually the best to ever do it
Happpy birthday Nakadai 🎂🎉
