There’s no way I could top this on-demand movie review from Ground Zero:

“13 Assassins” takes the men-on-a-mission cliche of Westerns and samurai movies and dresses it in crazy pants.

The movie is just this: Twelve samurai and one fool are dispatched to kill the evil Lord Naritsugu, who’s protected by both his political associations and a 200-man army. The first hour is a careful but never tedious set up of the game pieces. The second hour is a splattered, sword-swinging, severed-head-rolling chunk of YEAH! Blood literally flows from the rooftops.

Four stars. Would’ve given it five if there’d been zombies.
