Proving that samurai warrior movies still make for great entertainment, 13 Assassins pays homage to all of the best of in its genre while showing that this style of cinema still has a place. The plot follows a band of samurai assassins who are tasked with killing a nihilistic young Lord who has absolutely no remorse for any of his actions and leaves behind a trail of blood and carnage. This is a story about righting wrongs and honour, a story about duty and devotion to a craft that is quickly fading into obscurity. You find yourself cheering for the samurai who are ready to die for their cause and you are rarely disappointed as the film progresses.  The cinematography looks great and the acting is top notch. It reminded me of why I liked samurai cinema and how great it could be.

13 Assassins Trailer 2

This Takeshi Miike-directed samurai action film hits North American theaters later this month. Is it just me, or is this decidedly lacking in Miike-brand grossness?
Thirteen Assassins Trailer

Japanese gross-out director Takashi Miike takes the helm on this historical epic about a group of assassins hired to eliminate a corrupt feudal lord against all odds.
