13 assassins is essentially a remake of seven samurai with six extra samurai. i do not mean that in a bad way. it is a fine film. also nice, it is an hour shorter than seven samurai. however, the six extra samurai are clearly too much; you cannot keep them all straight, and the introductions take forever. other than the noise about who the bad guy is, this is just an updated version of the kurosawa classic.
13 assassins gets three assassins. for a total of 16. see what i did there? math.
