An A-list Japanese cast. An international action star. A budget somewhere between $175million and $225 million. A director making his first feature film.
A box office bomb so bad the studio wrote it off the day after it was released.
The story of the 47 Ronin is a fixture of Japanese culture, but this is the story of 47 Ronin (2013), and what came after.
No spoilers but there’s a twist in this one.
