Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai (2011)
Seeking an honorable end, poverty-stricken samurai Hanshiro(Ebizo Ichikawa) requests to commit hara-kiri in the courtyard of feudal lord Kageyu's estate.Trying to dismiss Hanshiro's wish to save face, Kageyu(Koji Yakusho) recounts the tragic story of a similar plea years ago from young ronin Motome(Eita). But the arrogant lord is unaware of vengeful Hanshiro's bond to Motome. The film is a remake of the 1962 feature directed by Masaki Kobayashi based on the novel by Yasuhiko Takiguchi.

Bookended by an intriguing opening and action packed climax and managed to fill in the middle with exactly what you would think if you were lucky enough not to sit through it. Pity as I was sitting up getting ready for madness but by the time it came I couldn't be bothered to lift my head off the pillow. I've seen the original which is all the more reason the beginning surprised me with its potency. 13 Assassins is still Miike's samurai masterpiece, but I'll give Blade of the Immortal a whirl.

Languid and subdued samurai epic is unusually restrained for Miike; pensive study of personal honour is beautifully crafted and features an array of fine performances, with a devastating one from Mitsushima as the tragic Miho. As always, Miike is a master of creating a vivid, tactile slice of the natural world to set the tone (love the snowstorms!); if it drags a little bit from time to time, the pleasure of Miike taking a more somber and introspective approach more than compensates.

Miike turns what was originally a raw, violent, sad tale told with touches of black humor into a tolerable melodrama. Still its not a tale that's easily butchered, and this film is pretty to look at.

A main character you can feel for, strong performances and nice visuals make this a film very worthy of your time. The story hits a slog in the third act, but a great climax helps you walk away from this movie happy. The final scene in this movie has a unique weight to it, check this one out with confidence.

Very similar to the original but not as good. The few minor changes that were made were for the worst and Ichikawa's acting was nowhere near what we've seen from Nakadai.
Do yourself a favor and watch the original, if you havn't already done so.

Miike produced a fine film, but when the original is such a revered classic that still holds up, there's no necessary reason to watch this. It's a very straight remake.

Unlike the previous entry [13 Assassins] in the cycle of reboots that from some reason Takashi Miike has been given the reigns for, this strays outside the lines of its original source so little that I cannot think of any reason to recommend it. And I really don't think highly of the actor who was hired on for the Tatsuya Nakadai role; his resemblance to the original actor appears to be only area he achieves any success in.

This much is clear: Takashi Miike knows what the hell he's doing. Not that I've ever been in doubt. Surprisingly the best 3D I've seen since Avatar - Hollywood need to either wise up and start shooting everything in 3D properly or scrap the project altogether. The structure of the film is put off-kilter by its dragging middle but all in all Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai is a beautiful experience.

Beautifull settings and camerawork. The first act of the film and the last were very good, but the middle part dragged on a bit to long. But because of the magnificant settings of ancient Japan its still worth watching. For me a good balance between 'action' and drama.
