The great thing about a service like Netflix (or even the mostly extinct retro rental stores) is that you can see this wide selection of movies on display, and you can come across things you never knew existed. Granted, sometimes this isn't always a good thing, as catchy box art or a tubular name leads you into a dark hole of "what did I just rent and why am I still watching this?" Tonight's flick was discovered in just such a manner - scrolling through box art when BAM! The title catches one's eye. Samurai Fiction. It just conjures memories of black and white swordsman flicks while also sprinkling in a little bit of false over-the-topness, or maybe even something like a certain other movie that ends with fiction in it's title. Either way, these seem like totally enjoyable thoughts, so the only question to unsheathe is whether or not this movie lives up to those images or not.
