"Simply one of the best films ever made. An art-house film disguised as a Hollywood blockbuster. Although Criterion’s version isn’t a Blu-ray, the extras on this DVD are unparalleled."

"For me, three films stand out in Kurosawa’s uneven career (the other two being Ikiru and High and Low): one of the cinema’s greatest “action” movies, thrilling and sublime. (Beware the dread Hollywood remake!)"
