This is a decent movie which I think most people will enjoy especially if you know a little bit about Japan and its history. Only purists would rate this movie with ridiculously low rating. It's not the greatest movie ever, but it's not bad either. It makes you think about how important honour or Bushido is in Japan back in the feudal era, and even now.
However, I feel like this movie should have been in Japanese instead. Keanu speaking Japanese would be very cool and it wouldn't burden most of the Japanese cast to speak English quite awkwardly. They would be able to convey their emotions better too in Japanese which is kinda lacking in this movie when they speak English.
Conclusion, if you somewhat love Japan you'll quite like this movie. If not, maybe stay away from it.
