Perhaps not the high point of the cinematic arts, but a fun movie and a treat for the eyes (not just because of the women's bodies). The pace is good, it never gets boring or annoying. If you're in the mood for action + softcore porn, this will fit the bill. Oh yeah, and the naked slow motion fight scene is a sight I won't soon forget. Also, the setting in Meiji Japan adds another layer of interest to what would still be a fun movie if it were set in Victorian England.
