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.

If you are into kung fu and Samurai movie this is one of my top picks I have this movie on DVD and it's in English I picked it up at Walmart for five bucks I notice a lot of the movie here they won't let you switch over to language for English or Spanish so look for the DVD and enjoy this movie

Being a Samurai cinema addict I have watched this movie at least 10 times in my life. No matter how many times I have seen it I am always engrossed with the painful traditionalist making of this movie. The men who acted in it have had countless hours of work with blades and the definition of honor is portrayed throughout. I would definitely recommend this movie for anyone who wants to watch a historical drama .

I used to watch a lot of kung fu and samurai movies when I was kid. This movie reminded me why I was engrossed with them in the first place. This was refreshing to see....the raw carnage and straight to the point. It's nice to see an action movie without all the Hollywood magical hoopla involved, especially these days.
