I saw this on the big screen at the 2004 Philadelphia Film Festival.
Aya Ueto is the title character, a foundling picked up by Yoshio Harada, a war veteran who's training a cadre of assasins to kill off warlords who are plotting unrest. They manage to kill their first target, but their second one has been warned and instead of killing them, they kill his double. After that all sorts of hell breaks loose.
This was first-rate all the way. The action sequences are incredible, well choreographed and very inventively shot. Ueto looks very cool in standalone shots, although she never quite convinced me that she was deadly proficient with a sword. This is a comic book kind of world, though, a place where blood spurts dramatically just when it should, a place where a sword can somehow catch fire. In that place she does fine.
The performances down the line were quite good. I especially liked the Sajiki brothers, a trio of bad guys that manage to be alternately evil and funny. (Their debate as to whether they should slaughter an innocent theater troupe is priceless.) The heroes are a mixed crew, mostly faceless (not counting Harado's Master there are four male leads but I could never tell them apart) except for interesting moments when they seem quite convincingly childlike. (Ueto is told there is something called "a foreign country" and literally doesn't understand the concept).
There are some themes here of the limits and dangers of idealism but they're never really developed the way they should have been -- probably too much to expect of a comic book movie. (Apparently the movie is based on a popular manga.) Still, I liked the fact that our heroes often do some pretty cold-hearted, nasty things, and that the bad guys have flashes of conscience and decency. It's never quite clear that the good guys mission is all that good, or that the "bad guys" would really be that bad a plan for the country. Even Bijomaru Mogami (Joe Odagiri), the "boss fight" (a giggling psychopath) has flashes of wit and humor, and is certainly an appealing character. This was a bit more complex than I was expecting.
The movie's long but never feels its length -- there's always something to keep you interested. As comic book movies go, this is a good one.
какво да ви кажа лично аз не си падам по японските филми -доста са скучни, но все пак всичко е въпрос на вкус
