8/10. Kurosawa's sequel to Yojimbo sees Toshiro Mifune reprising his role as the wandering samurai, this time aiding a clan in some medieval intrigue. Not as action packed or as hardcore as I recall Yojimbo being, but still keeps the viewer wondering what may happen next. Mifune plays Sanjuro thoughtfully when needed, yet at the same time a steely killer. A naked sword, unsheathed and unsettled.
Kurosawa's movies always seem to me like they could be just as interesting filmed shot for shot today as they were 50 years ago. Truly timeless.
