13 Assassins

You assemble a death squad for a single afternoon’s work in a mountain village. The client’s bargain is simple: survive the day or die trying. And then the rules change on you just as the first blade leaves its sheath. The director leans on the widescreen frame to let the blood pools grow dark unhurriedly.
