The Samurai aims to please a lot of bases. It’s got enough blood splattering kitana action to please a Tarantino fan, enough running and chasing to satisfy thrill-seekers and the titular transvestite character is sure to perk the interest of queer viewers. It’s silly and at times a little amateur but who cares when it’s this much fun. With it’s tense atmosphere, memorable villain and action elements, it should appeal to a wide range of viewers. Suspend all disbelief and enjoy the ride, The Samurai is a trip.

P.s. According to its makers, it might just be the first ever 15-rated film to feature a full boner shot. Your turn Hollywood.
