Title: Savor the originals
Product review: Takashi Kitano's portrayal of Ichi-san is flat and utterly forgetable. This movie is a sorry attempt to cash in on the former glory of Shintaro Katsu's Zatoichi. Kitano is is completely unengaging and fails to elicit any empathy with his character. Save your money and move on to the older iterations of the adventures of Zatoichi. They are in a class by themselves and much more entertaining.
