Zatoichi and the Doomed Man
Blind swordsman Zatoichi, jailed briefly, is implored by another prisoner to aid him in proving his innocence of a crime for which he is sentenced to death. Zatoichi is reluctant to get involved, because he knows how often such involvement has led to trouble in the past. But events conspire to thrust him repeatedly into involvement, and gradually he comes to believe in the man's innocence and determines to free him.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The action here isn't perfunctory — it's considered, with internal logic. The staging of fights and chases shows a director who knows the genre from the inside.
A well-made ride. Doesn't claim depth, but does its job honestly and without boredom.
For those who appreciate a solidly made genre film without pretensions.
Director: Kazuo Mori
