13 Assassins

Samurai battle for glory in a perfectly choreographed orgy of violence. Cult director Takeshi Miike takes us to Japan’s feudal period; a time where the shoguns — local warlords — reign. tr

Suitable for persons 15 years and older.

Cult director Miike Takeshi is well known for his extremely violent movies, such as Ichi the Killer (2001) and Audition (1999). Blood, violence, sex and other taboos are hallmarks of his movies. 13 Assasins is no exception. The movie is a remake of Eichi Budo’s film from 1963. This film probably breaks records for its 45 minute long battle scene.
