Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 7, 2023 "13 Assassins could end up being Miike's masterpiece. It's that good." Full Review | Jul 2, 2021 It's clear that the exhilarating 50-minute climax battle is both the director's forte and his primary passion. Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 30, 2020 Rather than being a simple action movie, it is all a bloody samurai film that revives the chambara genre. [Full review in Spanish] Full Review | Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 27, 2020 ...the film offers far more than cheap thrills and violent spectacle. 13 Assassins brings men to the crux of their beliefs and forces them to live out the reality of their choices in battle. Full Review | Apr 2, 2020 Takashi Miike has created a reverential and vital film in a genre that many may have thought as moribund and passé as its subject. Full Review | Original Score: 3.7/5 | Nov 6, 2019 13 Assassins is a samurai movie dedicated to giving you what you expect in a samurai movie Full Review | Sep 16, 2019 A non-stop, thrill-a-second, blood-soaked treat. Full Review | Mar 6, 2019 You've seen this film before, many times. Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 8, 2019 It's a reverent throwback to the great 1950s-'60s Japanese samurai films, and it's done in neutral shades of gray and white and tan and black. Full Review | Oct 30, 2018 Miike has a unique way of making even this historical violence both gross and engrossing. Full Review | May 16, 2018 ... Miike's work is impressive... [Full review in Spanish] Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 14, 2018 As this finale makes clear, Miike is well aware of the conventionality of "13 Assassins" and clearly is comfortable following and continuing its form. Full Review | Nov 16, 2017 ... a superbly executed but straightforward men on a mission film where the increasingly outmoded ideals of duty and honor and meaning through sacrifice are at the heart of the matter. Full Review | May 19, 2016 Mr. Miike has done such a remarkable job with the overall saga and the characters that one can't help but become emotionally invested. Full Review | Oct 7,

He whispers to Lynch to jump out of the building while he still can - but Williams has revealed a little more. “[He’s the] trickster. He’s the ringleader of the Assassins in Abstergo, and he sees everyone’s gifts and recognises their potential,” he explains. “He’s from a Caribbean ancestral background, and he’s a Voodoo poisoner. He has all that energy behind him. Can he fight? Yes. But would he rather sprinkle something in your tea and kill you softly? You bet.” Other modern day Assassins include a Chinese Assassin called Lin who intriguingly descends from an “Assassin she discovers in her genetic regressions, who is well travelled and hardened by the struggles of life for a woman in 16th century China.” Given that Assassin’s Creed Chronicles China starred Shao Jun in 1505, I don’t think it’s too much of a leap of faith to say that we’ve got a nice game crossover here. Weekly digests, tales from the communities you love, and moreThe fact that there’s intriguing characters such as Moussa, Lin and other Assassins in the 21st century sequences of the movie means that Kurzel and Fassbender clearly want a better balance than we’ve had previously in the games. What the movie calls ‘regressions’ into Lynch’s past where we’ll see the Siege of Granada amidst the Spanish Inquisition and the burnings of the auto-de-fe, won’t be the only attraction. I didn’t see his first trip into the newly updated Animus but this new version of the genetic time travel machine is a serious upgrade. A giant mechanical claw that grips the subject around the waist, it looks considerably more intimidating than the game’s previously tame sofa. The replication of Aguilar’s movement too means the Bleeding Effect is more understandable as Lynch literally goes through the motions of his Assassin

Both creative strangleholds and attracting the ire of angry fans objecting to changes. Allowing the movie to stand alone gives it chance to work within its own medium. The solo nature also fits with the wider Assassin's Creed franchise, which has canonically explored other Assassins and Templars through comics, novels, and gaming spin-offs -- Callum and Aguilar will merely be two more characters in the wider lore.The first look at the outfit comes ahead of the movie beginning actual production. Fassbender and his fellow cast, including The Dark Knight Rises' Marion Cotillard, 12 Years a Slave's Michael Kenneth Williams, and Before Midnight's Ariane Labed will appear before director Justin Kurzel's cameras from next Monday.
