Review – 13 Assassins

This was not at all what I expected from director Takashi Miike. Just when I was sorta getting used to his penchant for extra-icky gore flicks, he turns around and makes a straightforward samurai picture. To be sure, it's packed with plenty of bloody violence. However, this story of 13 samurai tasked with assassinating a psychotic despot is a lot more Kurosawa and a lot less Argento. Worth seeing
