Blade of the Immortal (2017)
Directed by Takashi Miike this film based on the manga of the same name stars Takuya Kimura, Hana Sugisaki and Sota Fukushi. An immortal samurai becomes the bodyguard of a twelve year old girl who wants revenge on her father's killers.
I found this to be an enjoyable martial arts slaughter-fest. There are some mumblings about the nature of revenge and immortality in the script but they do not go deep enough for my taste. Enjoyable though likely forgettable.
3/5
