Reviews
Isao Natsuyagi stars as Kiba, a charismatic ronin who wanders into a small town and ends up ensnared in a local conflict that's more than meets the eye. After dispatching a pair of highway criminals seen robbing a courier wagon, Kiba agrees to assist a beautiful blind woman who runs the local shipping company. Double- and triple-crosses ensue, illustrated with savage but economical violence courtesy of famed director Hideo Gosha's (THREE OUTLAW SAMURAI, VIOLENT STREETS) striking black and white filmmaking. The result is a lean and mean triumph of samurai cinema, cementing Gosha's status as a master of the genre. Read More Read Less

Anton Bitel Little White Lies Hideo Gosha’s chanbara is both eastern and western, placing itself in the same tradition as Akira Kurosawa’s Yojimbo, while also drawing on the spaghetti oaters that Kurosawa’s film had already inspired. Jan 10, 2024 Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk a gritty, hard-edged, bloody recalibration of the traditional chambara film Rated: 3/4 Jun 19, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A particular treat. Rated: 3.5/4 May 24, 2023 Full Review Michael Barrett PopMatters Hideo Gosha’s Samurai Wolf films contain scenes and elements that feel like nods to Akira Kurosawa.
