I did not really know what to expect when I started seeing this movie. It starts with a blind boy doing some mischievous deeds. It then cuts to his adulthood where he is a masseur. From here we really start to get to know him and follow his life. Rarely have I seen a character with no redeeming qualities and so cold.
Acting and story is quite good in this movie. Do not expect any sword fights or anything like it. It just evolve around Suginoichis life and deeds.
Would I recommend this movie? Well if you look for samurai action look another place. If you are looking for a disturbing story about a blind man then this may be a good choice for you. I would recommend it but it is not for everyone. And the main character is truly not a nice person to follow.
