If you loved Ninja Wars, try G.I. Samurai

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Kōsei Saitō, and they sit in Action territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ninja Wars, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What G.I. Samurai is

You command a modern army platoon, training in the shadow of Mount Fuji. But a solar anomaly catapults your unit to 1549. Soldiers with tanks face samurai. The clash of eras becomes a fight for survival. Director Saitō’s action beats feel both retro and prescient.
