13 Assassins

Director: Takashi Miike
My Rating: 5/5

Alot of people built this movie up for me, so I had pretty high expectations. Not only did the film live up to all the praise, but I would say it surpassed it. A beautiful slow climb first act which had my complete attention and did a great job building up the evil Lord Naritsugu. It may sound crazy but I am going to go ahead and compare this film to 300. An underdog story of a small group of samurai taking on a large army, directed by one of the world's best filmmakers. The samurai take over a small village and use it to their advantage in their battle against Lord Naritsugu's men.

There is alot of blood, but it isn't gory. There is alot of fighting, but it isn't only for fans of actions or fight movies.
