Taitei no ken (2007)
Magnificent movie, but certainly not for everyone.
This is an excellent movie, that has a good plot that is easily grasped and great characters. The movie has both humor and seriousness, and they are rather well placed, there isn't really a situation where the humor is out-of-place.
Obviously, if you hate movies that are out of the ordinary and "strange", then you might not like this one. This is no art movie, nor is it a Hollywood-esquire yarn. It is very original and those involved in it certainly loved making it, it is most assuredly made with a clear vision of the writers and directors in mind and it doesn't cater to the whims of the masses, but was made as they felt was the best.
All in all, it has much action and humor, which are the main elements the movie is composed of. The plot is rather simplistic in that it doesn't offer any great twists, but that is good, for it fits the movie very well.
