★★★ · ZATO AT LARGE...? · sonofdoy · 2021-11-09
Well...As an die-hard, "Zatoichi" fan, I find it "difficult" not to like any of the Zatoichi films starring Shintaro Katsu!The Zatoichi films are, in a way, much like the Bond series of films, particularly those starring Sean Connery! None the less, this one is, just a little bit "left of center," if you know what I mean. And, just in case you dont, just watch ALL the other films in this series and youll know what I mean! -dm
