About Bored Hatamoto: The Kaga Conspiracy
The crescent shaped scar on his forehead is a license given him by the Shogun to kill anyone he deems to be a villain. A strong performance that reflects well upon his father, with interesting stories, these films are required viewing. When Saotome hears rumors of a Daimyo's plot to overthrow the Shogun, he launches an investigation. With the help of his sister Kikuji, his stewart, Kinai and a mysterious woman they begin to unravel the web of treachery.
Directed by Akinori Matsuo, Bored Hatamoto: The Kaga Conspiracy leans on a strong ensemble — Hiro Komura, Kei Satō, Kinya Kitaoji — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 1993.
