Fuck yeah!!! I hardly ever get to say those two words with an exclamation mark let alone three, but 13 Assassins is worthy of my enthusiastic vulgarity. Though the premise is simple (Samurai squad vs. an entire army), the essence of Samurai lore is brilliantly maintained. The first scene-setting hour takes its sweet time preparing you for the bodacious mayhem that occurs in the second, which must be the longest continuous battle sequence I’ve ever witnessed. Yet, somehow, it never outstays its welcome. 13 Assassins delivered on my every expectation. For ignorant optimists such as myself, that’s a cinematic rarity.
BETTER THAN INCEPTION!!!
