47 Ronin retells ancient Japan’s most enduring legend.
The action adventure movie stars Keanu Reeves (The Matrix) as Kai, who joins Oishi (Hiroyuki Sanada, The Wolverine), the leader of 47 outcast samurai whose master was killed and dishonored by a treacherous overlord. Together they seek revenge and try to restore honor to their homeland.
ThePG-13 film is the first by director Carl Rinsch and was written by Chris Morgan (Fast & Furious 6) and Hossein Amini (Snow White and the Huntsman).
Critics panned 47 Ronin, giving it only 12% approval, according to Rotten Tomatoes. Los Angeles Times‘ Mark Olsen called the movie “overlong” and “underwhelming.”
Moviegoers liked it better, but were still mixed, giving it 55%. 47 Ronin grossed an underwhelming $38 million in wide release in theaters.
The DVD contains one bonus: the featurette “Re-forging the Legend.”
Both the Blu-ray/DVD Combo and Blu-ray 3D Combo add these:
- “Keanu & Kal”
- “Steel Fury: The Fights of 47 Ronin“
- “Myths, Magic & Monsters: The FX of 47 Ronin“
- and digital copy via UltraViolet.
