| User ReviewAnthony LIn the last film he gets a new cane sword and with this, he finally gets a very engaging story, one of the best so far. Zatoichi helps out a town as always but in this story. there's a twist, he sacrifices his reputation for a belief. Zatoichi becomes an outlaw for a Yakuza boss which he thought was a decent man. But it turns out, he's the real villain. This boss is perhaps one of the most deceitful villains I ever watched. It's fantastic. Plus, Zatoichi has blood special effects now. LOL. The movie cuts down with the action but makes up for it with a quality story. |
| User ReviewOrlok WSeizième film de la saga Zatoichi. "Le justicier" marque le début d'une nouvelle époque, Shintaro Katsu (Zatoichi) prend les rennes et devient le producteur de la franchise. Pour sa première production, il fait appel à Satsuo Yamamoto, un réalisateur chévronné et renommé au Japon (mais quasi inconnu en France), qui signe un très bon épisode marqué par un regain de violence dans les combats (giclées de sang et membres décapités en nombre). Mais montre aussi un héro fallible qui peut se faire berner, ce qui n'était pas souvent arrivé encore. |
| User ReviewChris BThere's some seriously badass action going on here. The plot meanders a bit, but it brings it all together really quickly... and with some great lines of dialogue. Very enjoyable installment in the series. |
