I wasn't really hyped for this movie but still looked forward for it. Since it's directed by the same guy that directed "Ping Pong" which is one of my favorite Japanese movie. It really isn't good as "Ping Pong" and lacked elements that made that movie great. But this film is still watchable despite the really manga influenced style of it all, even if it worked for the movie "Ping Pong". Everything just seemed a bit too crisp and clean for this type of movie, even if they wanted to modernize it a bit. If the movie was suppose to be a comedy than it's understandable but it's not. The movie wasn't as engrossing as expected but it was still sort of entertaining watching the blind female swordsman cut down bandits although the movie is a bit too vivid and colorful in a negative way. The script just wasn't as sharp as it should have been and the characters weren't all that interesting. If at least the direction would have been better it could have had potential to be a great movie, but the direction of it all wasn't that great. This movie was a bit of a disappointment and maybe this director should just do another manga adaptation with a good and engrossing story. Another thing that got annoying is how the villains are always way too over the top and it gets a bit irritating to watch, but than again they are obnoxious and annoying to the point I actually liked watching them get sliced and diced. There really isn't anything that stands out from this movie and nothing special.
3.2/10
