I never expected anything good out of Uzbekistani movie. But wow, this movie was spectacular. Very interesting plot, superb acting, the storyline gets more and more interesting with every scene. The movie begins with Japanese woman blowing up herself "kamikaze style" in front of American soldiers, taking them down together with herself. To my understanding the whole movie was about Japanese war and honor traditions carved from many centuries of samurai traditions. How a warlord's honor is put above personal things like love and family... Amazing movie overall. I am surprised this movie was never presented or aired in Uzbekistan?! This is much better than any of those "a la Indian type love stories" being shot in Uzbekistan nowadays. Kudos to everyone who made this movie! I give a rating of 10 out 10.

i just watched this movie for distribution purposes in Switzerland. even it was a screener with big tags on it and a counter running, i have to say the movie was great. the actors made a great job. the editing was very well done, all those scenes cut in from the past as the lead actor remembers them. even though the movie has a lot of explicit scenes with a lot of action and blood. i guess that's how war is. i would recommend this movie to anyone because it's just a really great piece of film-making. i never thought a production out of Uzbekistan in able to do such a great job. let's see if the movie finds the right audience to get what it deserves. big congratulations to the whole crew! peace, jay
