13 Assassins Movie Synopsis & Plot

Set in 1844 Japan, and based on a 1963 film of the same name, "13 Assassins" stars Koji Yakusho ("Tokyo Sonata," "Babel"), and brings together the cream of Japan's acting talent. Yakusho plays a brave samurai who assembles an elite team of thirteen killers to assassinate the brother of the Shogun, a sadistic and well protected young lord who's above the law, raping and killing innocents with impunity. The film culminates in a mind-blowing, forty-five minute battle sequence that rivals anything seen before in the genre.

MOVIE REVIEW

Evil lords are evil. They like to torture, kill and rape their subjects and have fun doing it. Shooting children with arrows? They love that, too. Why? Because they're evil. But evil lords sometimes need to be put in their place - by the good guys. And often that means killing them. Enter 13 Assassins.
