Thirteen Assassins by Takashi Miike

[carbo-fation]

This looks like it's going to be an epic samurai movie about 13 assassins joining together to kill an evil lord.

No English subtitles but the trailer is really good.

Saw this the other day at you tube and it looks very promising! Any news on a U.S. release date?

 

[GrayWolf87]

Nothing like a bunch of samurai to spill some blood!

looks good!

Love Miike's films. Will definitely catch this one...which will probably be a long long time from now depending on how smoothly they distribute the film here.

Can't wait to see this one! It is a remake of the original from 1963.

I saw this movie last week and it was excellent. If you're a fan of old school Samurai movie with great sword fights then check this movie out.

I just saw this movie yesterday and it was awesome. Sorry to necro post, but anyone who hasn't seen it yet, should check it out. It's on Netflix streaming as well.

 

[uscmhicks]

Yep , great movie. Managed to catch it in the cinemas.

 

[Rock83]

Yeah i liked it too.A typical old fashioned samurai movie you don't see too often anymore.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Looks very cool. Many of the shots in the trailer remind me of the Azumi film a few years back almost frame-by-frame...and I don't think that's a bad thing.

 

[devilof76]

Azumi was great. Still haven't got around to the sequel, but I want to.

I'm going to watch this right now. I need to see some heroism right about now...

 

[Boba Ben]

Azumi was great. Still haven't got around to the sequel, but I want to.

I'm going to watch this right now. I need to see some heroism right about now...

The villain in movie is such a bastard. He makes you want to see someone kill him more than anything.

 

[devilof76]

In Azumi or 13 Assassins?

 

[Boba Ben]

13 Assassins.

 

[plasmid303]

This is not my favorite Miike film.

 

[devilof76]

13 Assassins.

I didn't watch it yet. The villain in Azumi was the same way.

 

[Phil Sierra]

Azumi and 13 Assassins are great. I like Japanese flicks I think they're pretty good.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Yeah Azumi was great, and had a wonderful (fun to hate) villain. The sequel wasn't quite as good..but very solid nonetheless. I will definitely check 13 assassins out.

 

[devilof76]

There was cheesiness in the first one that made me roll my eyes a bit, but nothing I couldn't get past. The story was too cool to let myself get hung up on humor I didn't appreciate. I'm sure the sequel is similar.
