Samurai Action Redux

This afternoon I saw the samurai film "13 Assassins", an unabashed action film that incorporates a tribute to Kurasawa. It was a stirring film that criticises the notion of honor when it is not accompanied by compassion and an appreciation for the social good. It seemed at times a condemnation of Japan, but it was at others an evocative thriller with many elaborate sets.

More to come later. (Addendum -- I guess there is no update to this review, as of June 2013)
