Well no time for a lengthy review (on the clock you see) so I'll refer you to the capable words of others:

They hit the nail on the head as far as I'm concerned. Nakadai rules!

It's more of a drama than a sword slasher film. If you approach it with that in mind, you might like it better. Don't expect crazy fight scenes galore like in Sword of Doom or even Yojimbo. Most of the fighting happens toward the end of the film and is somewhat haphazard, if I recall correctly.

Agreed, agreed and double agree. How can you forget that tense ritual scene itself? 'Seppuku's drama is the key; it's clammy, dark, satiric, sinister, subversive and ultimately brilliant....more to my personal tastes as an ideal samurai film than either the nostalgic, reflective, sentimental high pedigreed 'Ame Agaru' (After The Rain) or 'Tasogare Seibei' (Twilight Samurai)... Okay, you got me, I still love em all :p !

Kortik,
Is the Japanese R2 subtitled?

[chiba2000]

no subs!

[Kortik]

But if you look here on the other forum I posted the subs which are synchronized to this Japanese R2 Harakiri

Just look for my name and check "Here it is" you will get the subs for R2J DVD.

[Kortik]

Hope CK does it for us, I'll get it from him eventhogh i have R2 DVD no subs

I dont have a DVD burner otherwise I would burn for you guys(I've got several emails, with people asking for trading a DVD-R of Seppuku/Harakiri), I am saving some $ to buy me a Plextor DVD burner.
