47 Ronin

Carl Rinsch directs this reimagining of the Japanese tale about the revenge of the 47 Ronin starring Keanu Reeves. With the underhand machinations of their rival Lord Kira (Tadanobu Asano) blamed for the death of their master, a group of abandoned ronin recruit British-Japanese outcast Kai (Reeves) to help plan their revenge.

Vastly outnumbered, but inspired by the teachings of Kuranosuke Oishi (Hiroyuki Sanada), Kai and the other ronin engage in a bloody battle with forces under the command of Kira's loyal subordinate Mizuki (Rinko Kikuchi).

Critic Reviews:

• " If 47 RONIN did anything, it proved to me that Keanu Reeves could (and should) have starred in a live-action version of AKIRA. " – Alex Maidy

• " At its best, 47 Ronin is an elegant paean to a philosophy that transcends death and that visually resembles live-action flashes of a Hayao Miyazaki fantasy. " – Abbie Bernstein

• " Magical lands and sorcery add to the movie's mythic structure. While Mika is suitably simpering, the witch is delightfully evil and is a pleasure to watch. As for Reeves, his lines are minimal, but his swordplay does all the talking. " – Reagan Gavin Rasquinha
