"NEVER MIND KILL BILL AND THE LAST SAMURAI, This is the one to beat 'em all - The Evening Standard
"Kill Bill? Zatoichi would wipe the floor with him! Can't wait for Tarantino? Then get a slice of Takeshi Kitano..." - Empire Magazine
19th Century Japan...Zatoichi is a blind wanderer who makes a living by gambling and giving massages. Behind his humble facade, Zatoichi is a master swordsman, gifted with a lightning fast draw and strokes of breathtaking precision. Zatoichi discovers a remote mountain town at the mercey of the Ginzo gang. The ruthless Ginzo dispose of anybody who gets in there way, quicker than ever, since they recruited Hattori, the mighty samurai ronin."This is an entertaining mix of stylised violence and goofy humour, with Kitano orchestrating the swordplay, severed limbs, geysers of blood and virtuoso musical sequences in a way that Tarantino would kill Bill for." - Arena
