Ichi [DVD]

I am a sucker for foreign films. The acting is good, the story line gives you a taste of their history and values. But at these cheap prices I could never have refused the deal. Good service. Good deal. Good film. Damned good price. Will certainly buy from these guys again. Thank you for your speedy service, and excellent price.

Having never seen any of the other "Zatoichi" films I came to this movie without any preconceptions, I sat down to watch this movie without any idea what to expect, from what I can gather the hero is normally male, in this version of the story the main character is female and very easy on the eye.The action is set during the Edo period in Japan; it recreates the feel of the time with a great deal of ease looking very authentic to my eyes and at the same time looking very elegant.The part of the story I liked was how the male lead that can't draw his sword and is saved by Ichi and because of this event he is hired by the local Yakuza, to protect their village from the bandits preying on them and the townsfolk.This movie is in Japanese with 5.1 surround sound with English subtitles that you don't have to put on.The action is pretty intense, gory and very stylish this title must have just barely got its "15" classification with that said all the violence doesn't feel like it was done just for effect but is needed for the plot, I found this film very entertaining and enjoyable...

if you have ever heard of zatoichi, ichi is the female version . i can pretty much say it is a sequel to zatoichi without him in it. the main character makes referance to him a number of times in this film. i recommend this film as it is entertaining but it only gets a 7/10 from me. you will not love this film nor will you dislike it either

This should be called Daughter of Zatoichi...I liked this film much. More of a B movieof the genre, but well acted, with great actionscenes... A minor classic in my view, let downslightly, with a slow ending

Mesmerising! A great re-telling of a classic story!

Well I for one loved it. Not perfect but the difference with this one compared to other 'draw - slash' movies is this one had emotions and often touching. A must for Zatoichi fans. The Blu Ray was great no complaints. Lack of extras a drawback but will still award a liberal 5 star. To me its a keeper, price is good to.

Disc was in good condition and had no scratches and played with no problems will order from these guys again for sureBrilliant film a must see and have in your collection

Superb movie, and a good addition to the Zatoichi myth. Haruka Ayase is perfectly cast as the blind heroine.
