Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
It's lots of fun and ridiculously violent, but the running time means it eventually becomes wearisome.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Swords are drawn, guts are spilled, and so forth, but it feels as if the man who made the all-timers Ichi the Killer and Dead or Alive 2: Birds is merely going through the motions.

Like most of Miike's middle-of-the-road films, the details in between the obligatory story-filler and the money-shot fight scenes are a treasure trove of weird, small moments that reward your attention.

3 stars out of 4 -- [I]t’s that balance of Miike’s experience with his retained childlike energy in making a kick-ass samurai movie that keeps this journey engaging.

It's quite ironic that a film about immortality will prove to have very little longevity in the minds of cinema goers.

4 stars out of 5 -- [A]ction fans will have a field day, but gorehounds will have a field year, as Miike lops off arms, slices throats, and slashes out eyes. Or as he likes to think of it, just another Wednesday.
Empire
Rating: 4/5 --
Blade of the Immortal is a wildly entertaining entry from Takashi Miike that proves that he can put his stamp on terms such as "excess" and "overkill".

Product Description:
Manji (Takuya Kimura), a samurai cursed with immortality, is hired by a young woman (Hana Sugisaki) to avenge the death of her father. He quickly finds himself battling hundreds of adversaries, not only to help his charge but to win his own freedom as well. Sota Fukushi, Hayato Ichihara, and Erika Toda co-star in this samurai action film, which is based on a manga of the same name and is the 100th film of prolific director Takashi Miike.
