Back in the 90's, I used to be a huge fan of Takeshi Kitano and I ended up watching 9 of his movies. I have to admit that, nowadays, I don't follow much his work anymore but it doesn't seem I'm missing much. Anyway, this flick was the last Kitano feature I had the pleasure to watch. If I'm not mistaken, it is the most commercially successful movie directed by Takeshi Kitano, at least in Japan wher... read more

I had heard of Zatoichi, but never bothered looking up anything about this long-lasting character of the East. I stumbled on this DVD, & found myself enjoying it so much, that the end result was multiple viewings with no diminishment in enjoyment. The movie, just like the series of an earlier time, follows the latest adventure of a mystery traveler commonly referred to as the "blind masseuse", who... read more

"18.2 Kirjaston DVD Kitano heitää vammaista halolla päähän ja silpoo pahoja ihmisiä silmät kiinni koska on sokea. kaikki muut yrmyilevät ja huutavat ihan vitusti."

"17.12. Kun on katsonut kaikki 26 Shintarō Katsun tähdittämää Zatoichi-elokuvaa, ei Kitanon uudelleenlämmittelyyn pysty enää suhtautumaan mitenkään. Kitanon version perusasetelma on sama, ja hahmolla on tasan ne samat maneerit, joihin ehti kyllästyä miljoona kertaa Katsun elokuvasarjan aikana. Jossain puolivälin paikkeilla elokuva on parhaimmillaan, kun se syventää hahmojaan. Kuitenkin toimintakohtauksissa käytetty tökerö CGI pilaa sitten jokaisen taistelun aivan täysin. Olisi"
