Epic action. A modern masterpiece.
Takashi Miike absolutely outdoes himself with 13 Assassins. Brutal, relentless, heads flying and one hell of a ride. If you think it wont blow your mind think again it will floor you.
A fine remake of 12 Samurai.
One of the best movies of any genre out there!!
Almost twice as good as Seven Samurai.
