Blind Zatoichi makes his living by gambling and giving massages. But behind his humble facade, Zatoichi is a master swordsman, gifted with lightning-fast draw and strokes of breathtaking precision. Zatoichi wanders into a town run by sinister gangs and a powerful samurai. He's destined for violent showdowns when he stumbles on two beautiful geishas avenging their parents' murder... Duels, wit and a touch of zen! Cult anti-hero Zatoichi is back in a sword-fighting adventure written, directed and starring Takeshi Kitano.
Acclaimed director and actor Takeshi Kitano takes a spin at the popular tale of Zatoichi, the blind swordsman. Almost everyone knows the story in this day and age: blind man Zatoichi, a humble and kind man makes his living by giving massage or performing acupuncture. But beneath the harmless surface, a master samurai dwells, and every thug that messes with him soon regrets it. The film has some cheesy stabbing effects, but overall it's a great samurai film with fantastic sword fighting.
