    Zatoichi's Revenge is just as enjoyable and exciting as the 9 films that preceded it, but lacks enough individual moments to make it stand out. The fights, though more competent in their choreography, do seem like they have been done before. The only two stand outs for me in this... read more film, were the guitar soundtrack, adding a very western feel to the whole film, and a supporting character that cheats Zatoichi and then helps him in the final rescue, suggesting that he may become like Zatoichi himself. It really portrays the impact that Zatoichi has on those he meets. Certainly worth stopping by on the Zatoichi journey, but there are others I'll be revisiting before this one.

scenes of young women forced into prostitution and beaten are more than a little unnerving. However, Zatoichi's eventual serving up of justice is all the more satisfying. Full Review
