Takashi Miike is by far one of the best directors out of Japan when it comes to controversial, and unconventional films. This means that most of his films will either really disgust you, confuse you, and best of all, make you feel really uncomfortable (possibly even fucking up your head). The ones I’m referring to are Ichi the Killer, Visitor Q, Audition, and Gozu, are also fan favorites among his massive collection of films he has directed since 1991. Takashi now has over 80 titles under his name.
His latest release,13 Assassins doesn’t shy away from his traditional conventions, and Takashi truly delivers an epic samurai film. I’d even say the most ambitious one since Seven Samurai. 13 Assassins is now available on demand everywhere, and hits theatres tomorrow at the following locations listed just below.
