Movie synopsis
Based on actual events that served as the inspiration for the 1963 film of the same name, Takashi Miike's 13 ASSASSINS follows a group of noble samurai as they seek to slay a tyrannical, politically connected lord before he seizes control of the entire country. Japan, 1844: as the era of the samurai winds to a close, a sadistic young lord uses his powerful political ties to commit heinous atrocities against the common people. Recognizing the dangers to both his country and its citizens should the lord manage to gain any more power, a concerned government official secretly recruits 13 of the most skilled swordsmen he can find to defeat the evil lord once and for all. But reaching their target won't be easy, because the elusive lord is constantly flanked by legions of fearless bodyguards. Realizing that the bodyguards would decimate his modest task force in a traditional battle, the assassins' leader (Koji Yakusho) lays an ingenious trap that will give his men the upper hand, and waits patiently for their prey to take the bait.

Editorial reviews

3 star out of 5 -- "[T]he climactic 45-minute free-for-all is genuinely spectacular..."
Total Film - Matt Glasby (06/01/2011)

"A stirring, unexpectedly moving story of love and blood....13 ASSASSINS is at once a tale of revenge and liberation..."
New York Times - Manohla Dargis (04/29/2011)

"A master director with great style and panache, Miike's latest, 13 ASSASSINS, is a classic samurai movie, right up there among the finest in the genre."
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas (04/28/2011)

"[P]op star Inagaki Goro oozes nefarious charisma as the handsome yet hideous villain Naritsugu."
Sight and Sound - Sight and Sound Critic (07/01/2011)

"Takashi Miike's samurai adventure 13 ASSASSINS is so beautifully made, it could serve as a model for contemporary American action films."
Movieline - Stephanie Zacharek (04/28/2011)

3.5 stars out of 4 -- "The film is terrifically entertaining, an ambitious big-budget epic, directed with great visuals and sound by Takeshi Miike."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (05/25/2011)

"13 ASSASSINS culminates in a riveting, ingeniously plotted, and inventively shot 45-minute battle scene that few contemporary Japanese directors besides Miike could pull off, either logistically or artistically
Film Comment - Film Comment Staff (05/01/2011)

3.5 stars out of 4 -- "Miike ensures that once grace gives way to fury, every drop of blood split in defense of an honorable principle matters to the audience as much as it matters to the heroes losing their lives on-screen."
Washington Post (05/27/2011)

4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he gambling motif that runs through the story is nicely sustained."
Uncut - Uncut Staff (11/01/2011)

Review For: 13 Assassins (Blu-ray Disc, 2011, Includes Digital Copy)

Takashi Miike redefines the samurai genre with a spectacular, emotive and incredible film, where the previous experience with weird cinema was out, and became a classic film, beyond any weirdness.

Great image/sound that mades this release one of the greatest films of the year.

absolutely essential in any film collection

Review For: 13 Assassins (Blu-ray Disc, 2011, Includes Digital Copy)

I won both the original B/W movie from the 60s and this current remake. Takeshi has outdone himself with this movie. Remarkably restrained he manages to take a wonderful, if relatively unknown, old samurai film and remake it in to an instant classic. Visually and emotionally gripping, the movie climaxes with a 45 minute battle between the titular 13 Assassins and their targets 200 bodyguards. It is both epic in scale while at the same time claustrophobic and the cinematography is exquisite. This is a must see.
