Plot summary

A pair of down-on-their-luck swordsmen arrive in a dusty, windblown town, where they become involved in a local clan dispute. One, previously a farmer, longs to become a noble samurai. The other, a former samurai haunted by his past, prefers living anonymously with gangsters. But when both men discover the wrongdoings of the nefarious clan leader, they side with a band of rebels who are under siege at a remote mountain cabin.

The double (triple?) crossing gets little confusing at times, but the main characters are easy enough to follow and root for. This might be one of my favourite Nakadai roles.

Chambara spoof combines deadpan comedy and swift, brutal action. Kihachi Okamoto is a master of contrast.

Kill! is simply a viewing pleasure. It's probably

Kill! is simply a viewing pleasure. It's probably not the best samurai movie to watch right off the bat if you are new to the genre, but after wading deep into chanbara I found it to be a welcome delight. The story is slightly confusing as noted by others, but the plot really isn't the point. It's a chance to poke fun at convention and to let the viewers chuckle at the cast of stereotypical characters. It's isn't a comedy that will leave you wheezing, but it's lighthearted and amusing with excellent actors playing loveable goofs. Nakadai makes the movie, and this role is such a departure from his roles in such films as "Sword of Doom." All of this and a '60's-surfer/spaghetti Western soundtrack that would give Tarantino a boner. It's fun and leaves you feeling good.
