I enjoyed it but it's a rip off of the old Bette Davis movie All About Eve. The hairdo's were atrocious, Western make up. Far from geisha like and they had the the deportment of horses.

I would have thought they could have given the actresses a few hours work on Japanese dance. Looked more like a scene from a musical.

In the roof scene I could not help but look at all those new modern tiles. Even Ninja movies are better on this.

Still....... it's Hollywood! I suppose they have to make it appealing for the masses.
