A SAMURAI IN TIME (2023)
The idea of yet another time travel movie with a fish out of water protagonist isn’t exactly the most exciting prospect. Even the electricity which sends the hero from the past to the present is a very familiar visual trope. However, Junichi Yasuda's A Samurai in Time isn’t another action movie like The Iceman Cometh. The biggest surprise is that it’s not really a straight up comedy either. It’s still a silly premise, and there are indeed sword fight sequences, as well as plenty of laughs. But there’s a subtle touch at work that means that it’s often more of a drama than the synopsis would suggest.
