Takashi Miike’s blood-splattered and emotionally ripping Blade of the Immortal is a terrific samurai thriller.

Takashi Miike rings in 100 movies with the garish, gory comic-book fun of Blade Of The Immortal.

The veteran Japanese director’s 100th film concerns a warrior who is able to grow back his own limbs. It is undeniably gross, but also a lot of fun.

The samurai flick features a thrillingly satiric performance by pop idol Takuya Kimura.

Takashi Miike’s film is a work of robust genre craftsmanship that’s informed with a sly sense of self-interrogation.

To return to the question of the Miike summation, Blade of the Immortal is ultimately sturdy but a little unremarkable, enjoyable but somewhat baggy. One could suppose it’s thus representational of a great director already thinking of his next project. Fingers crossed for film #101.

The 100th feature by genre master Takashi Miike transcends conventions of Japanese swordplay films with both fantasy and graphic violence.

Though not nearly as mindful or meaty as Mr. Miike’s 2011 triumph, 13 Assassins, “Blade” is creatively gory fun.

Blade goes for the carotid while offering a classic look and a comic-book story. It’s part Kurosawa, part “X-Men,” part “Ichi the Killer.”
