Azumi

AZUMI is a young Japanese orphan who is a ruthless trained assassin. It is 19th Century Japan, torn-apart by war. Along with nine others she has been taught deadly martial arts skills by Master Gessai, in the hope that one day they will cold-bloodedly kill the warlords who cause constant unrest in the land. The ten proteges must form pairs and fight to the death to leave the five most merciless killers, cold enough to murder their own friends. But are Gessai's motives all that they seem

  If you like killings and lots of blood then you'll love this film. If you like a film with a bit more to it then stir clear. I've seen Azumi before but ... read more »

  Ma ma.
  
  Chambara through and through. Popstar and the cast of Japanese drama Gokusen are trained as assassins in this Japanese samurai movie.
