Fifth film in the Lone Wolf and Cub series. 5 warriors challenge Ogami to duels. Each has 1/5th of Ogami's assassin fee and 1/5 of the information he needs to complete his assassination. His mission is to kill a mad Daimyo before he destroys his clan! (Criterion)
Reviews (1)
It seemed to me only slightly weaker than the previous installments, mainly because I liked the first half a lot, but the second half didn't entertain me as much. The scene with the "baby" getting beaten up is truly very powerful and intense. It has the exact impact on the viewer that it should have. You don't forget that easily.
