"A CLASSIC SAMURAI FILM"

- Deborah Young, Hollywood Reporter

"Takashi Miike is in TOP, SLASHTASTIC FORM"

- Leslie Felperin, Variety

"13 ASSASSINS IS PURE PLEASURE. It culminates in a magnificent 45-minute showdown that has to be the best final battle sequence in cinema since, oh Kill Bill at least."

- Lee Marshall, Screendaily.com

"IT DELIVERS SUCH INTENSITY THAT IT’S HARD TO BREATH, THAT IT’S DIFFICULT NOT TO STAND UP AND CHEER. There are few samurai films (classic or modern) that are as satisfying as this one."

- -Cole Abaius, Filmschoolrejects.com

"THE FILMS IS A RELENTLESS LOCOMOTIVE. Enthralling and entertaining."

- Glenn Heath, Jr., Slantmagazine.com
