Title: Bad movie
Product review: I've been watching Zatoichi films a long time and this one is really lame in comparison to any other.I don't know if the direction is at fault or if Beat Takeshi was allowed to do his own interpretation of Zatoichi but Zatoichi is practically nonexistent throughout the movie other than the odd killing scene or being seen sitting somewhere with his head down not talking.The original zatoichi was vibrant and clever .This one is totally aloof to comatose.I'm very disappointed to have spent 27 dollars on it.The secondary characters' stories were pretty good but whenever zatoichi appeared the story ground to a halt.I kept waiting for one of the other characters to kick him or something to see if he was awake.Dunno how it won a Sundance award unless the voters had never seen zatoichi before.
