If Harakiri hit the spot, these will too

Both are working the same pair: revenge, seppuku
The difference: Trades the melancholy of Harakiri for an angle of its own

Two things both keep coming back to: suicide and japan
The difference: Sits closer to adventure than Harakiri does


Both are built on the same subject: revenge

Epic action, and it commits to that

Both keep coming back to the same thing: japan

The same two preoccupations: samurai, and ronin
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Drama with a pulse of stillness, in both cases


Both lean on momentum more than on history
The difference: Made in the 2000s, in a different era of the craft

Common ground: black and white
