Jûsan-nin no shikaku (13 Assassins) (2010)

Director:   Takashi Miike
Writers:    Kaneo Ikegami, Daisuke Tengan
Language: Japanese
A group of assassins come together fro a suicide mission to kill an evil overlord.

The first of the hour shows why and how the assassins are assembled and the second hour shows the epic battle which is almost an hour long. Its violence done beautifully and not in a gory way like in other Miike films. Good performances and characterization considering its a genre film.

Rating: 4/5
