Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

nm4701284 This is a typical story from the '80s that keeps you at the edge of your sit and with a full bladder... yep. You'll not be able to take a bathroom break even if you stream it.A blind hero helps a family. A village helps a G.I. A villain gets it. A strong friendship begins. A touching story unfolds.I loved everything about this movie. The story is like a good book that you can't put it down and you want to keep turning the pages. There is friendship, action, history and again action! Love the way they played with the title of the movie. Sharp... if you catch my drift.You need to see what's happening at the end. Brilliant.

Vivekmaru45 After watching Noyce's thriller masterpiece Dead Calm, this film is a welcome addition in the action thriller genre. The film is written by Charles Robert Carner(of Gymkata fame) and is a loosely based, modernized version of Zatoichi Challenged, the 17th film in the Japanese Zatoichi film series.Actor Rutger Hauer plays Nick Parker, an American soldier serving in the Vietnam War, is blinded by a mortar explosion, and soon after rescued by local villagers, who help him recover his health. Although he remains blind, as a part of his recovery, he is taught by the local master to be an expert swordsman, and to train his other senses. Years later, having returned to the United States, he visits old army-buddy Frank Deveraux (Terry O'Quinn), only to find that Deveraux is missing... I've been a fan of Rutger Hauer ever since his Blade Runner days. Later He played an iconic role as the psychopathic killer in The Hitcher. In this film, since he plays a blind man, there are some scenes in the film which are very humorous. For example, in one scene he apparently tries to drive a van down a busy road. He hits a car and the driver of the car says, "Are you blind or what?". Hauer replies after staring at him through the window,"Yeah. Whats your excuse?" The acting, action scenes, background sound effects and solid script make this film very watchable.Notable actors in the film: Terry O'Quinn(The Stepfather 1 and 2) and Meg Foster(Ticket To Heaven, The Emerald Forest).Verdict: A must buy film.Other Hauer films to watch/buy: Ladyhawke(1985), Escape from Sobibor (1987), Salute of the Jugger(1989), Wedlock(1991), Split Second(1992), Surviving the Game (1994 - Excellent and must see.), Fatherland (1994). I have seen the above films and recommend them highly. Add them to your shopping list.

PeterMitchell-506-564364 Blind Fury is too funny to be serious, which you would of expected to be. Instead, what you get is a film that doesn't take itself so seriously, a slapstick, of action film of continuity, as in action I mean. Our Rutger, great as always, loses his vision while fighting the wars in the humid jungles of Vietnam. Taken in by some villages, he's trained as a samurai swordsman, which is rewarding in the end, where he graduates as the ultimate sword master. Remember, he's blind, and when we see all the instruments of injury he dodges, and bad guys he takes out, we ask ourselves, how could of he become this good. Answer: It's only a movie. No blind guy could be capable of this, except Rutger, in this heavy action pic of continuity with shades of humor too. Rutgers's vet friend (The Stepfather's Terry O'Quinn) is in deep trouble in Vegas, as having to owe all this money, to these mob swindlers. Saving Quinn's son, from death, where the mother's taken out, Rutger and kid head to Vegas. He's aided by Quinn's girlfriend (Lisa Blount) and they set to take these guy's down. Far fetched as it (one scene has Rutger behind the wheel, speeding towards a wall, missing it by sheer centimeters, when braking), the action, and fighting which would of taken hours of training are well choreographed. This film is just a reason to kill 83 minutes of time at the movies, where we know by now as in almost every of his B grade, straight to video CRAP, the name Rutger means action. Even Sho Kosugi, turns up near the end, as a bad guy, would you believe. Blind Fury, which had a humble cinema running, followed by Salute Of The Jugger, sadly, was the start of an endless of chain of duds for our poor Rutger. The same went for the career of another 'Hitcher' star, C. Thomas Howell. How the hell Rutger caught that teensy toy alligator at the end, when thrown by the kid, on the bridge above, takes the cake of implausible moments in the film. This film too was fresh off the heals of Phillp Noyce's prior hit, Dead Calm.

blackmamba99971 As far as the sword and war movies go, this one packs a good punch. A man Nick Parker (Rutger Hauer) who was wounded in the Vietnam war is left behind by his own man during a strategic move to stop their foes in their tracks. But by happenstance, Nick is wounded and blind from a mortar fire and tries to find his way out of the violence. In doing so, he is adopted by a local villager and helps to heal his wounds and so for the next couple of years he learns the ways of the sword and his other senses which are tuned so greatly, that he can hear, taste or even feel with more clarity than he did when he had sight. Now back home in America twenty years later, he tries to catch up with his friend once more only to find out that his friend Frank Deveraux (Terry O' Quinn) is making a batch of highly toxic and addictive drugs. But to keep him in line, his boss tries to kidnap his son and use him as leverage. Now the battle begins where Nick, uses his skills against the gambling cartel with his unique and most powerful weapons, his senses and his sword. The kingpin Macready (Noble Willingham) is ruthless and goes out of his way to stop Nick from his exchange with the mob. And in so doing, brings in an authentic samurai soldier played by a real life Ninja teacher Sho Kosugi who also plays in another film called Ninja Assassin. Blending this last battle scene is nothing more than spectacular, Rutger Hauer was taught under Kosugi before the film was made, honing his skills as a sword wielder. This has all ingredients of humour, sadness, great fights, and a wonderful scene where our blind hero drives a van like it was natural. Not recommended for those under 14. But I recommend it for the crowd who loves a good fight with swords. Excellent movie.
