eFilmCritic.com - 6/10 by Brian MckayWhile I'll still take a mediocre ZATOICHI movie over a crappy Hollywood film of the present day, this one leaves the viewer with a sense of unfinished business
User Review - 10/10 by Jarryd RSeen them all. Even the series!!! Every time i cream my pants from pleasure. Is something wrong with me?
User Review - 10/10 by Sean HGreat movie! This has everything people love in an samurai film; intense battles, great action, likeable protagonist not to mention a good amount of humor. Shintaro does a great job of acting.
User Review - 8/10 by Steve WZatoichi and the Doomed Man shows that direcction can greatly improve a film. Beginning with Zatoichi being lashed for illegal gambling, it sets up the story of Ichi trying to clear the name of a fellow cell mate. He crosses paths with a wily Zatoichi impostor and a equally wily female, and ultimately must battle a crime boss in the atmospheric setting of a dockside pier. The baddies use nets, and even a musket in order to try to take down our main character, for a very suspenseful final battle that is a bit different from the usual film climaxes in this series. Even though the story is a little pedestrian, the action and direction is top notch.
User Review - 8/10 by Chris BAnother great Ichi film and one that saves up it's action and stunningly choreographed battles for the final half of the film. The story is built up and quickly turns to countless bodies falling and Zatoichi laying waste to anyone who opposes him. This is the second shortest Ichi film as it runs at a fast paced and frantic 77 minutes, but man does it pack in the kills in the last half!
User Review - 8/10 by Anthony VAttempts to break out of the formula, and succeeds.
User Review - 8/10 by Michael Lanother great entry into this already amazing series! you truly cant get much better samurai movie. this one gets extra points by having a guy impersonate zato...and very comically at that
User Review - 6/10 by Orlok WDecent adition to the series. More lightly humoured than some of the others.
User Review - 4/10 by William WOh right, that same old storyline, Zatoichi helps out a stranger. Geezzzz....The series of films has not gotten any better with this one. It's the same o same o. It's sickening enough to see. The only cool thing about it is, Zatoichi is up against a criminal who uses his name. That's quite amusing. Zatoichi also used two swords in the final battle, which is a first. Other than that, it's still sickening.
