You should run screaming from this movie.
Let's start off with the good things about this movie:
-I loved it when the credits started rolling
Now onto the bad parts of this movie...
First of all - there isnt any remote attempt at cinematography or decent camera work, as the entire film is done in sound-bytes. I wasnt expecting Lord Of The Rings panoramic-esque shots, but I mean come on... lets at least try and make it visually appealing?
Second - the storyline was terrible. Basically - this old samurai who's about to get killed by an enemy army summons the war god and has it kill his enemy. Come time to kill it so that it returns to hell, he is unable to accomplish his mission and the war god lives on throughout the centuries only to be stopped by this samurai's decendants later on in present day.
Major plot failures (and dont worry, these plot points can be read on the back of the case, so they arent spoilers)
-The main character was a wimp. He couldnt even take on the war god's henchmen through out the movie, and then at the end, he's expected to fight the war god twice and win? Sorry.
-Third, involving the war god. He plans to totally take on the world and dominate all of mankind (as does every other antagonist ever - boring). His means of domination? A video game for the PlayStation2. A small and sad attempt at advertisement maybe? The unfortunate thing is that the game for PS2 doesnt even have the correct visual graphics style, leading the viewer to the conclusion that the games visuals were really just something concocted as an after thought.
The plot holes in this movie, as well as it's complete lack at anything resembling subtitles and language preferences, the even worse acting, and the absolutely abysmal presentation of this movie earns it an enormous thumbs down.
Just skip this one on the movie rack and keep on looking...

- The present father accepts the fact that he has to kill his daughter way too easy. In fact, he doesnt even bat an eye when this Japanese Samurai shows up in a secure building and tells him he must murder his daughter. Way to have family ties...
