Plot Summary
Inventive and bold, this film shines with pristine picture and theater-quality sound on Blu-ray Disc. In an empire ruled by fear, the people's only hope is the ultimate weapon: Zatoichi (Takeshi Kitano) -- a blind, nomadic samurai whose sword has made him a hero and whose courage has made him a legend. Determined to help the desperate residents of a village, Zatoichi seeks justice through revenge. It's a wildly entertaining film that's even more brilliant in Blu-ray High Definition.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Zatoichi is a mix-and-match crowd-pleaser that shouldn't add up, but delightfully does.
Fresh: The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi begins life as a straight-up samurai movie, evolves into a slapstick comedy and ends as a rousing, tap-dancing musical.
Fresh: Witty, gruesome, and artful fun.
Fresh: Boy, is this baby a hoot.

Really need the originals
Why is iTunes so behind the ball? They really need to offer the original films.
Huge fan
Love this movie, if you've ever watch the original black and white blind swordsman, you will like this. Great fight scenes and cool story...a bit long but I felt it was an excellent reboot to the original
great movie
This movie really has something for every one. It has cool action scenes, interesting story and a mixed bag of characters. I need this in my collection!
