Just watched this last night. Its one of those newer Japanese samurai-ish movies, stars Tak Sakaguchi, who i enjoy in these rolls, hes got a good sort of body language for these types of characters. Same guy that was the prisoner in Versus. Similar style, but I think better than Versus.
Story of a lone monk (Yűki Takeuchi ) in search of a forbidden coffin stolen from his temple that can bring about the end of the world via the goddess of destruction.
For what its worth Steven Seagal's son, Kentaro Seagal, is in the film too. small action scene.
I think there is a sequel, im not sure yet though.
There is this really funny scene where Tak's character has to fight these two vampires that hang out on ropes strung through the forest, but he cant get on the ropes.
Mainly what this film offers is the style of the director and the genre of the film itself.
Plus Hiroko Yashiki is SMOKIN HOT in this roll! she plays a mystical powerful sword weilding avatar to the goddess of destruction.
