Plot Summary: Keanu Reeves makes an explosive return to action-adventure in "47 Ronin." After a treacherous warlord kills their master and banishes their kind, 47 leaderless samurai vow to seek vengeance and restore honor to their people. Driven from their homes and dispersed across the land, this band of Ronin must seek the help of Kai (Reeves)—a half-breed they once rejected—as they fight their way across a savage world of mythic beasts, shape-shifting witchcraft and wondrous terrors.

As this exiled, enslaved outcast becomes their most deadly weapon, he will transform into the hero who inspires this band of outnumbered rebels to seize eternity.

Looks like fun

So, it's Lord of the Rings with samurai.

Cool! Looks entertaining.
By half-breed, I wonder if they mean half Japanese, in which case it would have been nice to find an actor who really was half Japanese (being that myself). Oh well, he's got some Hawaiian so I guess that will suffice. And I like Reeves.

????? Not sure about this one.

I thought this looked really interesting right up till the point when I found out Keanu Reeves was in it. I don't know what it is, but after so many movies with him that I didn't like since the Matrix I am just instantly turned off when I see him in a movie. Still looks cool, I'm just not convinced it's worth it.
