13 Assassins
13 Assassins
A bravado period action film set at the end of Japan's feudal era in which a group of unemployed samurai are enlisted to bring down a sadistic lord and prevent him from ascending to the throne and plunging the country into a war-torn future.

If you don’t like this movie… I’m sorry, we simply can’t be friends. This is my personal vibe-check gauntlet: if I care about you even a little, I’m making you watch this. And if you flinch? OUT.
It starts off calm—almost suspiciously so—and then BAM: the last 40 minutes are pure, blood-soaked chaos. Like if a tea ceremony exploded into a war zone. There’s dust, guts, honor, and exhaustion. Everyone’s screaming. I’m screaming. It’s beautiful.
No notes. Just samurai perfection and a slow-burn to carnage I’d sell my left kidney to experience for the first time again.
