More like 'Dances with Wasabi'. The guy Cruise kills during the first encounter with the samurai, the husband of the wife whom he falls in love with, died a stupid death. I mean, a samurai (and anybody who trains in a martial art) is taught to be aware at all times of his surroundings (the concept of zanshin, martial awareness). To stand over a fallen foe while weapons are near at his hand is something a cop would never do, let alone a samurai who has supposedly trained all his life in warfare.
Good battle sequences, though. The Japanese actors were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more interesting than the human cardboard cutout, i.e. Tom Cruise.
