Review: One of the best Samurai movies ever made. - I have been a huge fan of martial art movies of all kinds, but I especially love Samurai movies and I have bought numerous ones in the past. My favorite Samurai movie is the Lone Wolf and Cub entire series, which I have seen most of them. I also liked the Seven Samurai and numerous other Japanese martial art movies. I am happy to have purchased this classic, 13 Assassins, a film by the famous Takashi Miike. Like many of the Japanese Samurai themes, this one has to do with honor and revenge. This DVD is about a ruthless and heartless lord and a group of special Samurai who are willing to do whatever necessary to kill this sadistic lord who would plunge the country into ruin if he ascends to the throne. The beginning was a little slow but the final battle scene is long and bloody. Amazingly, in spite of having tremendous odds against the elite band of Samurai, they fight on until the end. If you love classic Samurai movies, this is one you should check out. This DVD also has an interview with the director Takashi Miike and some great deleted scenes. A very entertaining movie about a group of dedicated Samurai as they follow the "Code of Bushido." Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: The Samurai Soul: An old warrior's poetic tribute). Review: great period film - I've seen the mixed reviews about this movie and let me tell you, if you enjoy movies about the samurai code of honor, or even just a good action flick you will enjoy this. I watched it with the subtitles on because I find they are much more accurate than when a movie is dubbed plus it just feels wrong when you know the voices and words don't match the actors. I was impressed that despite all the action being at the end of the movie I never once felt the movie dragged on and I even laughed during some parts. You get a sense of these handful of true samurai and how they struggle with their role in a time of peace that they are no longer called upon to lay down their lives and die for a cause which they believe they were born to do. For them its the feeling of a useless existence, and this opportunity tests their resolve to be true warriors in a time where so many just acted a role. As a martial artist I was also pleased to see these men really knew and were practiced at what was shown, even if they only trained for what would be on camera they trained it like a warrior would and it looks flawless. I'm pleased that one of my students recommended it to me and I am doing the same to all of you! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Arata Furuta, Goro Inagaki, Hiroki Matsukata, Hirotsugu Yoshida, Ikki Sawamura, Ittoku Kishibe, Kazue Fukiishi, Kazuki Namioka, Ken Mitsuishi, Koen Kondo, Koji Yakusho, Koshiro Matsumoto, Masaaki Uchino, Masachika Ichimura, Masataka Kubota, Michihiko Umezawa, Mikijiro Hira, Minami Ichikawa, Mitsuki Tanimura, Paulo Branco, Seiji Rokkaku, Shigeji Maeda, Shinnosuke Abe, Sousuke Takaoka, Takahiro Ohno, Takashi Miike, Takayuki Yamada, Takumi Saito, Toichiro Shiraishi, Tsuyoshi Ihara, Yuma Ishigaki, Yusuke Iseya Contributor Arata Furuta, Goro Inagaki, Hiroki Matsukata, Hirotsugu Yoshida, Ikki Sawamura, Ittoku Kishibe, Kazue Fukiishi, Kazuki Namioka, Ken Mitsuishi, Koen Kondo, Koji Yakusho, Koshiro Matsumoto, Masaaki Uchino, Masachika Ichimura, Masataka Kubota, Michihiko Umezawa, Mikijiro Hira, Minami Ichikawa, Mitsuki Tanimura, Paulo Branco, Seiji Rokkaku, Shigeji Maeda, Shinnosuke Abe, Sousuke Takaoka, Takahiro Ohno, Takashi Miike, Takayuki Yamada, Takumi Saito, Toichiro Shiraishi, Tsuyoshi Ihara, Yuma Ishigaki, Yusuke Iseya See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,279 Reviews | | Format | Blu-ray | | Genre | Action & Adventure | | Language | Japanese | | Runtime | 2 hours and 6 minutes | ## Product Details - **Format:** Blu-ray - **Genre:** Action & Adventure - **Language:** Japanese - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 6 minutes ## Images ![13 Assassins [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ZvdmVgMSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best Samurai movies ever made. *by J***E on April 15, 2014* I have been a huge fan of martial art movies of all kinds, but I especially love Samurai movies and I have bought numerous ones in the past.

I have been a fan of the old black & white Japanese movies since I was a kid; but I never could understand why the good guys had to die, or why everyone had to dye in the end. This movie puts the reasoning behind the story out there in a way that I can understand. It has culture, a love-story, comedy, drama, tragedy, courage, sacrifice, loyalty, honor and more action than I have ever seen. Japanese movies are famous for their gore and this one does not disappoint. If you can't stand blood and guts, truely evil bad guys, and mutilation, then do not watch this movie. I liked this movie because of its reality. There is no flying through the sky or jumping over lakes or making daggers go in boomerang trajectories. All the action is believable and the actors look like they are doing all their own stunts. I have already watched it twice and plan to watch it again. Very, very well-done Japanese Samurai Warior movie. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1220025-13-assassins-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1220025-13-assassins-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
