Sword of the Stranger (2007)
7.7/10 on IMDbReleased Sep 29, 2007

Pick this film for a wandering swordsman whose restraint counts as much as his skill. Nanashi protects a boy and his dog while fighters from Ming China pursue them. The feudal setting is fictionalized, and the final duel pays off the different ways you’ve seen its opponents hold themselves back.
