Am I Missing Something?

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I have to confess I didn't know what to make of most of "Blind Fury". I knew going in that the premise was cool, but the movie also had a surprisingly jovial tone; and the buffoons chasing Rutger Hauer add to the comic sensibilities. It just seemed to lack any real edge. Not bad, but a bit disjointed.All of this changed with the final fight, when Sho Kosugi showed up and the real swordfighting began. Despite all that came before, it's a moment to cheer.Yeah, I'd watch it again. Hauer's awesome. 7/10

Fun but stupid action movie with Rutger Hauer as a blind Vietnam vet who returns to the States years later, now a master swordsman despite his disability. He seeks out his old Army buddy Terry O'Quinn and finds himself having to protect O'Quinn's son from drug dealers. A good cast goes a long way to help out a predictable script. Rutger Hauer is clearly enjoying himself and does a great job of juggling the serious and the humorous. Terry O'Quinn does fine as the guy not really worthy of Hauer's help. Meg Foster has an unfortunately small role as his wife. The two would star in "Stepfather II" the same year. The supporting cast also includes great villains Noble Willingham, Randall "Tex" Cobb, and Sho Kosugi. The action scenes are fine for the period, but none of them really stay with you after watching. It's a dumb "B" actioner, so expectations are pretty low on it. Rutger Hauer fans will love it more than most.

there's lots of great action in this film starring Rutger Hauer.but there's also some great comic bits and some good one liners.some of the acting is over the top,deliberately,i believe.the film is very entertaining from start to finish.Sho Kosugi makes a brief appearance toward the end of the movie(in a small role),which was nice,but i wish he had a bigger role.Phillip Noyce(Salt,Clear and Present Danger,Patriot Games)directed the film.i thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.this may be one of Rutger Hauer's best films.it's nice to see him playing a non villain role.obviously he's a very versatile actor.for me,Blind Fury is a 7/10

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.
