13 Assassins
2010 · TMDB 7.3 · 十三人の刺客
Directed by Takashi Miike
A bravado period action film set at the end of Japan's feudal era in which a group of unemployed samurai are enlisted to bring down a sadistic lord and prevent him from ascending to the throne and plunging the country into a war-torn future.
Why it matters
Miike's samurai epic, a remake of Eiichi Kudo's 1963 film, follows a band of warriors who must stop a sadistic lord, culminating in a forty-minute battle sequence.
