Reception
Mark Schilling of The Japan Times stated that "There is not a dull moment in the film." but also that there was "unfortunately, not much in the way of real thrills or laughs, which "The Seven Samurai" and "Yojimbo"." and that "One day, maybe, Nakano will get around to filming a movie."[1]
