A quick review of the film, then why the DVD over a blu:
This is more or less a Zatoichi chanbara- with the part of Ichi played by a female lead. She definitely kills it (no pun), very well acted, and excellent with action/swordplay scenes. The film itself is very well done: well shot, beautifully choreographed fight scenes, nicely done FX work (it’s quite bloody), a pleasure to watch. The story is pretty good too, though mind you: it’s a Zatoichi film. If this is something you’re familiar with, then you know: girl wanders into town, confronted by baddies, kills them all, intro new characters, intro baddie boss, scene in the gambling house using blind superpowers, makes a friend, fights, defeat by baddie, reflection and hit rock bottom, friend in trouble and to the rescue, baddie showdown...in the end she wanders off...this is basically an outline for every Zatoichi film, so if you haven’t seen it will be new, and if you have, its an interesting take and the swordplay is quite good, and she is slso searching for Zatoichi, who knows, she may just find him...?
Just keep this in mind: Shintaro Katsu was a seriously charismatic and enigmatic actor. He played the role for many years, so he really slipped into that skin flawlessly. Even though a lot of Z films can follow a formula (above), he always made it like a different film every time. The thing is this: even though he was a Yakuza, and did vicious and terrible things, and lived a life that was bloody and painful...bit he could always do something to make you smile. He had a lot of personality that could really make you feel for the character.
Ichi is NOT Zatoichi. She is a good actress as said, and she’s emotional and powerful and you do feel for her, but she is serious as a heart attack. The whole film is really. Don’t expect her to fall into a hole in the road and a group of kids to laugh as she gets a ‘wah wah’ face (ala Z)...she does business and takes names. Still, a very good film. I liked it a lot.
Why DVD over blu? I just wanted to see it. A rental was still like 20 bucks, and a blu was like 60. If the price gets more in control, i’d get a blu- rereleased maybe. Fingers crossed and eyes open.
