Title: 13 ASSASSINS (2010)
Post by: RCMerchant on September 27, 2014, 08:56:15 PM
 Sweet Christ on a Cross.
Just when I thought no more epic-and I do mean EPIC-like the GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY kinda stories are not being made-I see this.
I know its a remake of an older film-but-dam -Takashi Mike makes it his own.
I was wary -I am only familiar with Mikes-ICHI THE KILLER-I thought this would be an over the top blood bath.
I was so wrong-it DOES have major murder-but it is so epic-so involving-I actually cared about the charecters and the story. This is a movie I would put in my best movies of all time list.
I love it. This film is-UGH! To f**king cool.

Mike went beyond being a director and turned into an ARTIST with this.
It is in my top great films of all time.
OF ALL TIME.
13 against 200-and they win-but at a bloody price-my god-this is EPIC..
Oh- Did I say epic?  :cheers:

I agree, it's a pretty great movie. Miike's best mainstream movie, for sure.  :thumbup:

It's pretty great, and for those of you with Netflix, it's on there now.  Everyone should check it out.  I'd give it a 9/10.

It's also worth a note that Miike is known in the west primarily for his shock horror/gonzo style films, but he also makes a pretty equal number of regular dramas, average comedies, family films, etc.  He's actually very prolific too.  It'd be sort of like if in Japan they'd only seen Howard Hawk's western films, and thought that was all he did, something like that.
