Hiroyuki Sanada is a good actor; one of about five or six in Japan.

I still dont understand why they casted Rila. Surely there must be tons of better looking Japanese actresses out there.

Maybe they thought she was a better actress.

Tao Okamoto is just a walking bag of bones.

It's interesting to note that both Brian Tee as well as Will Yun Lee speak a lot of Japanese in this movie. The script is a little funny (many instances where a Japanese would not choose those words or expressions) but for a foreign Hollywood movie, it was very well done, I think. Best Wolverine movie to date.

Even better than X-Men Origins: Woverine?? Brace for impact!
I can see from the trailer its got all the stereotypes you could want... neon lights of Tokyo, katana, yakuza, a fight on a shinkansen, robot suit... etc.

The movie staff actually let the Japanese actresses rewrite the Japanese lines into what the J-actresses believe to be how Japanese would actually say.
