Director Kurando Mitsutake dropped Spaghetti and Sushi into a blender, hit the liquefy button and poured out a spoof film of perfect consistency ... `Samurai Avenger: Blind Wolf.'

This is not a film for the faint of heart or should I say, not for the queasy of stomach. Those who like blood and guts won't be disappointed. Maybe some Intel 3-D next time?

The storyline did its job, which was to support the action scenes. The narrative gave intervals of relief from the gore with a laugh or with weapon (sword) education etc.

I asked Jeffrey James Lippold (Drifter/Lead) if the film's take on swordplay and the soul of the samurai was based on fact. He said that some may have come from myth and folklore, but that some might have been performed at one time.

I thank the Cinequest Film Festival for the opportunity to be among the first to view `Samurai Avenger: Blind Wolf.' A film destined to attract a huge world following.

This film has a lot of everything - drama, horror, laughs, action, violence, skin, suspense, a great soundtrack and taps into the big questions of humankind. I found myself wondering often as I watched - What would I do? So much going on in this movie and very skillfuly composed. So rare to have so many levels work together in one movie. Not just a film...it's an experience.

This film was a surprise hit and audience favorite at San Jose's Cinequest International Film Festival! It's was just as entertaining watching it at home with family and friends! A sure audience pleaser!

Can't wait to see it all but what I've seen thus far is great! If you loved the Clint Eastwood westerns before they were "mainstreamed" this is your pic. Buy and enjoy!

The trailer made this look like a lot of fun, and given the content, it should have been. But it wasn't. In fact, it was downright dreary. The film's pacing was terrible, with it constantly stopping and starting for flashbacks right in the middle of action sequences. This went on ad infinitum. Then there's the unexciting and badly shot fight scenes, the pointless pausing for unnecessary narration, the wooden performances by the leads, etc, etc. Each to their own, of course, but for me it was deathly dull.

On numerous occasions Jefferey James Lippold has made wild claims about his military service. He claims he served in Gulf War I with Recon (FALSE) he claims JSOC and NSW experience (FALSE) He claims he received a purple heart (FALSE) he claims he carried a wounded Marine 300 miles (FALSE), when confronted Lippold has been continually hostile and irreverent towards those seeking the truth. Furthermore, he has been unable to provide a lineage of instructors in reference to his self vaunted "Black Belts"; which is to say that no one acknowledges that they GAVE him a Black Belt.
