13 Assassins looks awesome!

I haven't seen a film by Japanese director Takashi Miike for a long while, and this newest film he has, 13 Assassins, simply left me stunned and speechless after I checked out the trailer via Slash Film! Controversial as they are, if you've seen any of his films like Ichi The Killer and the Dead or Alive series, then you'll know what I'm talking about here. This samurai flick was released last September in Japan, and finally makes its way to the western shores come April 29. It has the makings of another violent and awesome epic that'll certainly pique any action buff's interest, so give it a go and check out the trailer below!
