Modern
Samurai flicks tend to go on steroids in the past couple of years, so ”13
assassins” is no exception.
Story
is very clearly laid out, with the vicious young shogun terrorizing other
samurais and their families, as well as the common folk in its centre. His
behavior triggers 13 outcasts and honorable samurais to join their forces
together on the road of revenge that will lead to the dead of merciless shogun.
Characters
are typical, but only basically detailed, while the overall tempo is really
slow. However, every single of the separated events at the end lead to a
spectacularly overacted battle in one of the villages between 13 assassins and
hundreds of shogun’s personal guards.
”13
assassins” is a pretty much empty slow tempo samurai flick with an spectacular
ending.
