5 stars (Exceptional) Even better than Yojimbo, the story is cleverer and the character of Sanjuro seems more developed. ~dr.strangelove

3 stars (Good Enough) Mifune leads his 9 stooges through for the most part a light-hearted screenplay. There is plenty of aggressive male posturing but it only adds to the comedy. ~Tubbs
