Review of The Sword of Doom (1966) by Scubasteve Walter M — 08 Apr 2016

Unlike any other samurai films, there's no hero in this. There's only a samurai killer. which I love the most in this movie. It's uncommon to have an antagonist as the main role in the chambara genre.

Tatsuya Nakadai has proven himself once more as master actor aside from his role in Harakiri. It's nice to see Mifune also in a short but sweet role. Another attraction to the film is the detailed sword techniques they used that is clear to the audience.

The only setback is the abrupt ending that never answered a lot of plots.
