Samurai Spy (Japan, 1965)

The legendary samurai Sasuke Sarutobi tracks the spy Nojiri, while a mysterious figure named Sakon leads a band of men on their own quest for the wily Nojiri. Soon no one knows just who is who and what side anyone is on.

For everyone who craves shinobi action, Masahiro Shinoda (Double Suicide) got you covered. Samurai Spy delivers a balanced diet of political intrigue, samurai action, assassin tactics and great cinematography. I'm aware that the infinite ocean of samurai cinema might be a bit intimidating in its seemingly never-ending supply of films, but Samurai Spy has that little extra that makes it worthwhile for lovers of chanbara movies. 



Genre: Action/Drama
