All of the Takashi Miike films I've seen are of the strange and wondrous variety - 13 Assassins is a straight-up Samurai film (in the vein of Seven Samurai) that, while it doesn't shy away from violence, focuses more on character and story. Loyalty, honor, respect - it's all here, along with one of the best battle scenes in recent memory.

Cool. So why is it not quite a 4 star movie?

I want to see this too. How good is it though? Is it an Oscar worthy movie?
