Lots of cool visuals with moody photography and clever flashbacks of each character woven into each battle, but it tends to overdo the slow motion shots of sword sheathing (there's like 30 nearly identical shots of the same thing). The fights could certainly have been choreographed better, too, it was pretty clear that the star was the only one with real sword handling ability. Still, it's got tons of arterial spray, and samurai fighting against cowboys, zombies and bikini babes with shotguns.
