I once went through a phase of watching foreign films. Sometimes I wonder where I found all this time to entertain myself.
This is one of my favorite samurai movies of all time, with an unexpected and unique twist at the end. I won’t ruin it for you by revealing too much.
If you want some action, great dialogue, albeit via captions, with a mysterious ending, go see this film.

Cool.
13 Assassins is an excellent movie. Any movie with Toshiro Mifune is excellent as well, extra samurai. I am a big fan of Beat Takeshi, too, though he’s no samurai – a hard boiled criminal. I reckon I’ll re-watch 13 Assassins tonight.
It’s not perfect (like virtually all movies it could stand to be a few minutes shorter), but it’s the best Samurai film of the last decade. Great film to round out a K?ji Yakusho triple feature: Tampopo, Shall We Dance?, 13 Assassins.
