This reminded me of the Dollars trilogy with Clint Eastwood, and sure enough, Fistful was an unofficial remake. I didn't expect this to have a bit of levity, especially since it's Kurosawa, but it's a great samurai film. The guy with the pistol was such a pussy.

Overall the weakest Kurosawa film I’ve seen so far. It’s definitely not bad, just a bit uninteresting compared to his other films.

Solid watch, fantastic music. Sloppy middle portion but fruitful close.

Definitely not Kurosowas best. Not bad, but not great. The middle part specifically drags.

Some fun scenes for sure, but not worth the runtime imo. I prefer Fistful—at least the action is more distinguished.

Still an overall solid movie though.
