Actually I thought his Japanese was credible. Which raises my estimation of
him as an actor, since from my understanding he doesn't speak a lick of
yingyong.

It was entertaining. Sometimes Tom had a bit too much of a "look at me, I
can do scripted battle sequences!" expression, and you could almost see his
lips mouthing "and a 1, and a 2, ...,"

OTOH, no sensual bath scenes or bare boobies, so a definite step down from
shogun.
