Now, how did I miss this?!?
Ah, sweet movie fluff. Gory manga-inspired samurai flick:

Unfortunately its limited release has already come and gone in the SF area. May get wider release later. My favorite Rotten Tomatoes quote panning the movie:
"Though it contains some superbly staged and highly lavish action sequences...[the film] lacks the tautness of its heroine." -- Franck Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
... I'm so there.
I'll have to make do with the upcoming Tony Jaa flick. A heart-warming tale of a boy and his elephant. And brutal kickboxing action.
