13 ASSASSINS

7/7/2011

 
Re-make of a classic from Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer.) Starts slow, but delivers a satisfying ending. Violent, mesmerizing. Okay, yes, I like violent films... somebody please tell me the flaming cattle were CG.

Worth seeing for the locations alone, hard to discuss without revealing the ending. See it.
