Asian Thieves Land

In this first film of the Lone Wolf and Cub series, adapted from the manga by Kazuo Koike, we are told the story of the Lone Wolf and Cub's origin. Ogami Itto, the official Shogunate executioner, has been framed for disloyalty to the Shogunate by the Yagyu clan, against whom he now is waging a one-man war, along with his infant son, Daigoro

This is one of those movies that met my high expectations. It's the first film in the popular "Baby Cart" series, based on an equally popular comic book of the same name. My first brush with the film came in the form of "Shogun Assassin (1980)," a feature-length film that consisted of scenes from some films in the series. I thought that movie was fantastic, so I have always wanted to see the entire series. This movie did not disappoint me. The story is about a Samurai named Ogami Itto (superbly played by Tomisaburo Wakayama) who is betrayed by his own clan (the treacherous Yagyu clan). He soon becomes a Ronin for hire, while still seeking to destroy the Yagyu. The movie has a great gimmick - Ogami fights his enemies while pushing the stroller that carries his infant son. The story is tightly constructed, the cinematography is breathtaking, and the editing is clever and effective. It has some of the most spectacular fight sequences I have ever seen (the climax is incredible!); the film contains many graphic and imaginative sequences. But the movie is not all action; it has one fascinating subplot about a prostitute. In actuality, director Kenji Misumi does a fantastic job in balancing all the film's elements; action, gore, politics, and sentiment get equal attention. It is a truly exciting, fast-paced and intelligent movie. Needles to say, this not for the squeamish. A must-see movie for fans of Samurai films.
