The latest samurai movie, ’13 Assassins’ is the combination of the moving story of love and the dreadful bloody violence. The Japanese director, Takashi Mike has made the movie look good, irrespective of the violence created. The storywriter, Daisuke Tengan has written the based on a story Shoichirou Ikemiya. The movie is produced by Michihiko Umezawa, Minami Ichikawa, Takahiro Ohno, Toichiro Shiraishi, Hirotsugu Yoshida and Shigeji Maeda.

The movie opens up with a dignified man seated alone in a large courtyard and perfectly centered in the shot. He wears a ferocious mask but the words are immaterial given his open shirt and the blade in his hand.

The director delivers a bravado period action film set at the end of the Japan’s feudal era. A group of unemployed samurai will be listed to bring down a sadistic lord and to prevent him from ascending to the throne and thereby plunging the country into a war-worn future.

In the first part of the movie, the time will be spent for getting the information on the large group of samurai. They will be tracking their concretion into a group and there by prepares for the job they are assigned to. Well, each man who joins the group has their own reasons from simple loyalty to their displacement as samurais who do not have a master.

The second half of the film gives us the excellent action packed sequences that we cannot miss a move. The leader of the group, Shinzaemon Shimada gets a message from a tortured woman titled ‘Total Massacre’, whose family will get murdered and her limbs severed by Naritsugu. It is a non-stop tour de force of stunt work, bloodshed and inventive set pieces.

The stars who moved the movie ahead is Arata Furuta, Hiroki Matsukata, Kazuki Namioka, Koji Yakusho, Sosuke Takaoka, Goro Inagaki, Takayuki Yamada, Tsuyoshi Ihara, Yuma Ishigaki, Yusuke Iseya and Masachika Ichimura.
