The Last Samurai
Overview
Tom Cruise's most underrated performance anchors this sweeping epic. An American soldier, broken and cynical, is hired to train Japan's army — and ends up finding honor among the samurai he's meant to destroy. It's gorgeous, sincere, and old-fashioned in the best way. Yes, the white-savior framing is dated, but the battle scenes and Watanabe's performance are magnificent.
