On February 26, 1936 a cadre of radical ultra-nationalist junior officers, with the tacit approval of some generals, launched a wave of assassinations targeting those they felt were too liberal in an attempt to convince the emperor to adopt a more militaristic approach to ruling Japan. For a period of 4 days these super-patriots held the main center of Tokyo, essentially holding the nation hostage. This is one of the last films directed by Gosha Hideo, and the last one that did not center on women. The “226 Inciden” helped lead to Japan’s increasing warlike attitude that inevitably led to the Second World War. Gosha pulls out all the stops showing the brutality of assassination as a political tool! Edit Translation

Reviews
Concerning my opinion, I liked this movie very much, as a history lover and more particularly about the Empire of Japan, I couldn't miss it. What I appreciated in this movie is the global atmosphere, we accompany the characters in all their emotions by passing through all their emotional phase, we quickly put ourselves in the place of the soldiers between their different decision. This is what I appreciated the most while watching this movie, I really liked the music, there are obviously a lot of military songs which reinforces the immersion in the scenario.
In addition this film seemed a little long, indeed we will find few action scenes and many scenes of reflection of the characters on their past and future choices. It's really at the end that the film becomes interesting and that we understand where the scenario wanted to bring us.
In short, I strongly advise this film to history lovers, to the others I advise you to pass your way otherwise this film will not please you and you will have the impression to have wasted your time.
