    It will miss all the points the original Unforgiven was going for (shaming of gun violence in cinema, etc....)

    Should have cast Morgan Freeman.

    I really liked Unforgiving so I'll likely check out this version.

    When I think Samurai I'm thinking of the shogunate era, this remake looks more western than it does Samurai?

    The film takes place a few years after Samurai were stripped of most of their power.

    Samurai were still pretty prevalent in Japan in the 1800s.

    Real Samurai between 1860-1880:
