Miike is like the Peter Jackson of Japan. A prolific shock director turns his hand at a samurai epic – brilliantly! Not to be missed.
In the last days of feudal Japan a weary samurai is forced too choose between his blind loyalty too his lord or the people he terrorises for his own pleasure with the aid of a ragtag team of warriors.
I love movies that are based on true events, this movie is totally realistic on how people used to treat on another!
13 Assassins
Based on true events in 1884, Miike's epic tale tells of the rise to power of the despotic Lord Naritsugu Matsudaria. When his tyranny runs rampant, samurai Shinzaemon Shimada (Kōji Yakusho) is charged with ensuring Naritsugu’s bloody reign ends. With the help twelve samurai, Shinzaemon must set a trap for the Lord and his 200 men that will prevent him from ascending to the throne.
