13 Assassins DVD (2010) | Kôji Yakusho & Takayuki Yamada | Dir. Takashi Miike | Japanese Samurai Epic | Artificial Eye | 15 Cert | New & Sealed

Thirteen men. One impossible mission. The greatest samurai film since Kurosawa. Kôji Yakusho and Takayuki Yamada star in 13 Assassins (2010) on DVD, from Artificial Eye. Directed by Takashi Miike, the film follows Shimada Shinzaemon (Yakusho) — a veteran samurai who recruits twelve others to form a suicide squad tasked with assassinating a sadistic feudal lord before he can ascend to power and plunge Japan into chaos. The film builds with controlled brilliance to a 45-minute final battle sequence in a booby-trapped village that stands among the most extraordinary action sequences in cinema history. Japanese language with English subtitles. Also starring Yûsuke Iseya. 126 minutes. 15 cert.
