The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi (2003)

A blind man who is actually a master swordsman rids a village of the gang that terrorizes them. Zatôichi / Ichi (One) is a long running character in a series of Japanese TV and movie productions, sort of the Japanese version of Kung Fu (TV Series 1972–1975). While the actual plot line has been about beaten to death there is enough creative character twist (and subplot) as well as the cultural element that more than counter anything negative from that. The FX are a bit lacking, perhaps early CGI or edited in after, but the action is top notch and brutal. Fans of the Kung Fu series and the genre in general should find this highly enjoyable.
