High concept movies don't get much higher in concept than G. I. Samurai, which is about a group of military personnel and their equipment getting transported back in time 100s of years, to samurai times. Once there, they get involved in a great many battles and ridiculous action ensues, especially for what feels like most of the second half.
At 140 minutes, I feel like it's way too long. There are also some uncomfortable/awkward moments here and there that soured things a little. But at the same time, I enjoyed quite a lot of it, and I liked how gonzo it was. It found a good deal of things to do with the wild premise at hand, and in that way, it definitely didn't feel like a waste or a missed opportunity.
