Samurai Commando Mission 1549 review

If you ever find yourself in your local DVD selling shop and happen across this DVD, don't be fooled into thinking it sounds like the greatest film idea ever. Because even though it kind of is - crack Japanese military unit is transported back in time to do battle with samurai warlords - that isn't even really what happens in the film. One unit is sent back, another unit is sent back to rescue them, but the first unit has gone rogue! Cue a battle between two futuristic marine squads with only a few samurai getting hosed down by machine gun fire in the process.

The acting is so poor that it made me angry. The sets look so fake and there is absolutely no militaristic realism at all (not that I am an expert, but this looks like a playground battle). Not to mention horrible subbing and just plain confusion come the end of the film. It ends on the lamest and most cheesiest scene ever. Next time I'm going to ignore my conscious when browsing the world cinema section.
