"Samurai Hustle" (2014)

[Otokichi]

So you think that Japanese Samurai movies are all alike? Take a look at this put-in-context review of "Samurai Hustle," where a relatively poor Edo-era clan is given five days to get from the North to Edo in five days. This clan doesn't have the money for food, official fees, and river portage charges; this "required by the Shogun" journey normally takes EIGHT days! Press PLAY if you want to see 18th century "running a five day marathon," assisted by a legendary Ninja.
