 The three shadow hunters from the first movie are back, and this story opens with them surviving a number of sneaky assassination attempts. Once again they come to the aid of a daimyo in distress, finding romance and betrayal along the way. Some of the scenes really force you to suspend disbelief, such as when a massive cannon with its oxen transport is moved across a ravine by ropes like an aerial cable car. None the less, it is still very entertaining. |
