About this movie

Cult director Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer, Audition) delivers a bravado period action film set at the end of Japan's feudal era. 13 Assassins - a "masterful exercise in cinematic butchery" (New York Post) - is centered around a group of elite samurai who are secretly enlisted to bring down a sadistic lord to prevent him from ascending to the throne and plunging the country into a war torn future.

You'll know which one when you see it. It's a great samurai flick with a wonderfully easy to hate villain. Not a cinema masterpiece but a good action movie all the same.

To avoid a greater civil war of needless death and destruction proposed by a sociopath of a feudal lord, thirteen separatists engage in a suicide mission to overcome the sheer odds stacked against their proposed victory. Loved every second.
