If you loved Never Back Down, try Zatoichi
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Action / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Never Back Down, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Zatoichi is
Rainy village streets, a lone cane tapping. A blind masseur with a sword, rival gangs circling, townspeople caught in between. Kitano balances action and drama with characteristic restraint.
