Keanu Reeves fighting a dragon with a lightsaber while wearing a kimono.

I just saw an ad that showed Keanu Reeves fighting a dragon with a lightsaber while wearing a kimono.

So, is '47 Ronin' basically every sci-fi/fantasy/martial arts movie ever made smooshed into one?

Is Keanu Japanese?

Or is this like the Samurai movie with Tom Cruise a while back?

that has been, apparently, turned into a deranged CGI nightmare.
