Thirteen Assassins

Japan

Medieval samurai epic done with modern camera techniques/makeup/editing. Very slick. Very violent. Came across as an update on Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.

I admired the skill on display here but this kind of film is comic-book level material. The crude demonization of the evil lord was laughable.

Catnip for teen boys.
