"The blind...they sense people better"
Zatoichi is a campy, stylish spin on the character with some fun twists and a few strong action sequences. Takeshi Kitano’s deadpan presence works well, but the film seriously drags at points, with uneven pacing and unnecessary subplots. Though the unexpected tap-dance finale is fun and ends the film on a memorable note.
