Movie | Samurai Avenger: The Blind Wolf | Pass

This is a very low-budget affair, that's basically Lone Wolf and Cub set in modern times, but it's a Western. With samurai. I know, nuts, huh?!?

If that catches your fancy, then this is not a bad way to spend an hour and a half. Despite some slightly shaky acting and a narrator that doesn't do much other than irritate, the story is interesting, the action is good and the cinematography is excellent.

The martial arts are nothing to write home about. It appears that they might know a thing or two about handling a sword, then they go and do something stupid. Some gore, mild nudity, language, violence is certainly present but not too bad (I fast forwarded through one part). Overall, this is a fun twisted Western and a must see for sub-genre fans. All others need not apply.
