Critic Reviews

Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
A satisfying action vehicle for Hauer...
-
Douglas Pratt, DVDLaser
the unacknowledged adaptation of the Zato Ichi films, which features Rutger Hauer as a blind swordsman who wanders the roads of America, helps reunite a small boy with his father, and wastes more mob henchman than you can shake a white cane at.
-
Clint Morris, Moviehole
One of Hauer's best flicks
-
Fred Topel, About.com
Cool fight scenes that play up the blind aspect. Not much of a story, but a fun action movie.
-
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Solid B-level actioner with lots of mayhem and the great Rutger Hauer.
