Our take

Adapting Hiroaki Samura’s popular manga, this samurai epic was the 100th film from Japanese genre maestro Takashi Miike. With enough outlandish weaponry to make even Chang Cheh blush, Blade of the Immortal delivers 140 minutes of sword-wielding, blood-splattered mayhem. Here’s to the next hundred!
